About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with nineteen years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy that helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood changes, and the fallout from trauma. He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone who may be nervous or unsure.

He uses straightforward conversation to build trust. Sessions prioritize being heard and understood without judgment. He encourages clients to talk about what matters most and to try small, doable changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Jason draws on methods like acceptance and commitment work, mindfulness practices, and cognitive-behavioral techniques. These approaches are used to reduce overwhelming feelings and to build skills for everyday challenges. He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and stick with new habits.

His background includes nearly two decades of clinical practice within the broader human services field. That experience informs an approach that mixes practical coaching with therapy-style exploration. Jason pays attention to both emotional patterns and concrete steps that improve daily life.

People who come for help can expect a calm, listening presence and clear, simple tools to try between sessions. The work is collaborative: he offers guidance while clients shape the goals and pace. In short, Jason focuses on steady progress and on making therapy feel usable for real life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people learn to accept difficult thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it centers on small, purposeful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple exercises that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it pairs well with ACT and CBT.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust approaches over time. This is a collaborative process in which goals, pace, and techniques are decided together based on needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let you meet face to face from home, while phone sessions provide a more portable option. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins and on-the-go coaching. These formats offer flexibility so people can use the approaches above in ways that match their schedule and comfort.

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.
