About Jason
Jason Adkins is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of practice. He focuses on helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the fallout from trauma. He listens first and then works with each person to find practical steps forward.
His approach is direct and down-to-earth. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking. He draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice what matters and act on it.
Background and approach
Mindfulness tools are used to calm strong emotions in the moment. Jason also uses client-centered methods to create a space where people feel heard. Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make changes but feels stuck.
Sessions mix talk, skill practice, and simple exercises to build new habits. He works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, addictions, mood and bipolar concerns, ADHD, and career or financial worries. He also supports people dealing with attachment, blended family challenges, multicultural issues, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics.
Sessions are offered from Georgia and can be scheduled in ways that fit a busy life. Jason aims to partner with each person to set clear, attainable goals and then track progress together.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are strong. It is useful for anxiety, grief, and getting unstuck from old patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with depression, mood swings, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on giving the person space to be heard and understood, and it supports confidence and self-direction in making changes.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That way sessions stay focused and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Many people appreciate being able to use different formats for different needs - long conversations by video and short check-ins by chat or text.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
