About Jason

Jason Adkins is a licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of practice. He asks straightforward questions about how you are and listens carefully to what you say. He focuses on making everyday life feel more manageable and helping people find usable ways to handle stress, anger, and other difficult feelings.

Jason works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and addiction concerns. He also supports those dealing with parenting stress, sleep or eating struggles, and issues tied to identity, including LGBT concerns. He brings attention to patterns like attachment struggles, control issues, and communication breakdowns that often make problems feel larger.

His style is direct but warm. Sessions tend to focus on simple, practical steps that can be used between meetings. Some approaches he draws on include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Motivational interviewing and client-centered work shape how he teams up with people to set goals and stay motivated.

Jason aims to help people build daily habits that reduce reactivity and increase choice. He works with clients on anger, coping with life changes, career stress, and burnout or compassion fatigue. He also supports people navigating polyamory or blended family dynamics and other multicultural concerns.

He practices in Georgia and offers services in English. Jason accepts international clients. To begin, follow the platform’s Start Therapy steps and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule with him.

Approaches to change you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, anger, and making steady progress despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jason treats the first few sessions as a chance to understand what matters most to the client and to try methods that match their goals. He collaborates with clients to adjust techniques based on what helps in daily life and what feels realistic to maintain.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also let people try brief focused sessions or longer weekly meetings depending on what fits their routine.
