About Jared
Jared Fuson is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship problems. He wants to make therapy straightforward and geared to real life. Jared writes in a direct, practical way and aims to help people meet their goals step by step.
He holds the Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential, LPCC, and also has LPC-MHSP and LPC credentials. Jared began counseling work after finishing a bachelor’s degree in psychology and later completed a master’s in therapy. He has about 12 years of hands-on experience in community and correctional settings.
Early in his career he led intensive outpatient substance abuse groups and provided individual therapy and supervised Department of Children’s Services visits. Those roles gave him experience running groups and coordinating care with other professionals. He later moved into correctional mental health work where he performed diagnostics and assessments while treating people with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use concerns.
Jared uses a mix of practical approaches in session. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Motivational Interviewing. That toolkit helps him tailor sessions to the person sitting across from him.
He encourages clients to set clear goals and to practice skills between sessions. Jared prefers short, concrete steps that build over time. To start, use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. It often helps with anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling intense relationship moments.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, goals, and what methods feel most comfortable. Sessions can mix methods over time so the plan fits changing needs and progress is easy to measure.
Session logistics are important to everyday life. Because the profile does not list specific online formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit therapy around work or family schedules, and practice skills between meetings. Therapists will also adapt exercises so they work well when sessions are not in person, for example using brief check-ins, guided skill practice, and real-time behavior experiments to reinforce progress.
