Jared Fuson, LPCC, LPC-MHSP, LPC

Jared Fuson is a licensed therapist practicing in Tennessee with 12 years of clinical experience. He holds the credentials LPCC, LPC-MHSP, and LPC - state counseling licenses that qualify him to provide professional therapeutic services. He began his counseling career after completing undergraduate studies in 2012 and later earned a master’s degree in therapy, obtaining the LPC-MHSP credential in 2020.

Early work in community mental health gave him hands-on experience facilitating intensive outpatient substance abuse groups, providing individual therapy, and supervising Department of Children’s Services visits. Those roles laid the foundation for his clinical focus on addiction, family dynamics, trauma, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Over time he developed skills in diagnostics and assessment while working with a range of diagnoses including depression, anxiety, psychosis, and trauma.

Today he practices full time in correctional mental health, where he continues to refine evaluation techniques and treat substance use and co-occurring conditions. His specialty areas include stress and anxiety, family and relationship issues, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes, along with additional focus on issues such as co-morbidity, codependency, fatherhood challenges, first responder concerns, and personality-related difficulties. He approaches care with a practical, goal-oriented mindset and welcomes the opportunity to support individuals through meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jared often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take action toward a more meaningful life. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to behavior changes that align with what matters most, which can assist with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jared works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals from home or on the go. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or other commitments while still receiving consistent therapeutic support.
