About Jason

Jason Amyx is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with twelve years of experience in mental health care. He began his career in roles that included treatment director and therapist in a clinical setting. He has worked with people facing many struggles, from anxiety and depression to trauma and addiction.

Jason aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for parents and individuals seeking support. Jason keeps sessions warm and interactive.

Background and approach

He uses humor at times and speaks plainly. He also offers direct feedback and gentle challenges when a person is ready to make changes. His aim is to treat each person with respect and without stigmatizing labels.

In session Jason draws from several practical methods. He uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person. He incorporates cognitive-behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.

He also applies elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills for strong emotions. Many people come to him for parenting concerns, stress, relationship struggles, grief, and other life changes. He has experience with ADHD, trauma, eating and body image issues, mood disorders, and issues tied to adoption and attachment.

He works with children, adolescents, and adults and adapts his approach to fit age and need. Jason practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. He accepts international clients and uses several online formats.

He asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin and to schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and shapes conversations to match your goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and actions that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds skills for tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life. Jason offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, let parents join from home, and allow follow-up between sessions when helpful.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
