About Jason

Jason Williamson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and substance concerns.

He began counseling after nearly 20 years in public service, first in the military and later in state government. Jason holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. He has worked with substance use concerns since becoming a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor in 2014 and became an LPC in 2022.

Jason often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different behavioral responses. He also integrates Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills and traditional talk therapy to help manage strong emotions and difficult situations. He explains techniques plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.

He pays attention to issues tied to guilt, shame, life purpose, and men’s concerns, and he has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and post-traumatic stress. Jason aims to meet each person where they are and collaborate on realistic goals.

Outside work he spends time with his family and enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, mountain biking, and skiing, plus riding his Harley. These interests inform his down-to-earth style in sessions.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Jason often relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test more balanced ways of thinking. It is practical and often includes small homework tasks to try between sessions to change mood and behavior.

He also integrates Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These are concrete skills that help when feelings become overwhelming or when relationships are strained.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jason will work with the client to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. He emphasizes simple, usable tools and checks in about progress as part of regular care.

The exact online session formats for this therapist were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills between sessions in their everyday routines, which supports generalization of what is learned.
