About Jason
Jason Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience. He practices in Texas and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and holds a Master of Arts in Biblical and Professional Counseling. Jason is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR.
Background and approach
He uses clear, direct conversation so clients can talk about hard things without feeling judged. In sessions he listens first, then works with each person to set simple, practical goals. He blends talking therapies with skills-based work so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.
He focuses on building confidence, handling stress, and improving family interactions. Parents often seek him out for guidance around parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and adoption or foster care questions. He also helps with relationship strains, communication problems, and issues that follow trauma or loss.
Jason describes therapy as a partnership. He supports people to find manageable steps toward better daily functioning. The approach is straightforward and geared toward real-world changes that fit each family’s life.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided processes to reduce the intensity of painful memories and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options and makes decisions together with the client based on needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real goals like improving family routines, managing mood swings, or reducing trauma-related triggers.
Online therapy makes these approaches flexible. Video calls let therapists and clients meet face to face from home. Phone sessions work when video is not convenient. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins and skill practice between meetings. These formats support continuing care around busy schedules and help people stay consistent with the therapeutic plan.
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.
