Jason Stary, LCPC

Jason Stary is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas with ten years of experience working with adults and adolescents. He has provided individual and family therapy since 2015 and, beginning in 2022, began leading weekly group sessions as part of an intensive outpatient program. He holds an LCPC credential, which indicates a state license to provide clinical counseling services.

His clinical work blends practical, skill-based methods with attention to relationships and personal values. He regularly uses cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies, teaches skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and draws on family systems and attachment perspectives. When clients wish to include spiritual concerns, he integrates Christian faith perspectives into treatment.

Jason assists people confronting stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. He also addresses caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, family of origin and family problems, fatherhood concerns, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, jealousy, life purpose questions, and men's issues.

He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Speaking from personal experience with depression and anxiety, he encourages those taking the first steps toward change and offers steady support as clients pursue clearer values and more effective coping.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jason Stary

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions aligned with what matters most. It helps people move forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. Those struggling with intense emotions, anger, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts often find these tools helpful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior to identify patterns that contribute to distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and building healthier coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jason works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support without requiring travel.
