Jason Scrivner

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 19 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for people dealing with anger, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. He aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out.

He uses straightforward, conversation-based work to help people sort through strong emotions. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, building coping skills, and practicing small changes that add up. He emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental tone so people can speak honestly about what they are feeling.

Jason draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means he might help someone notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify personal values that guide choices. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in his work to support change and increase present-moment awareness.

He has helped people with a wide range of concerns such as addiction, grief, relationship challenges, ADHD, self-esteem, and stress. He also supports those facing complex trauma, domestic violence, and caregiver strain. His experience spans many settings in Alabama and beyond, and he accepts international clients.

Jason aims to tailor the pace and focus to each person. He works with clients to set clear, realistic goals and to track small wins along the way. If you are unsure where to begin, he encourages a first step of asking questions and sharing what matters most to you.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person's pace so they feel heard and respected.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your preferences, and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process where feedback shapes what happens in sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness practices and homework between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to online sessions to focus on skills, values, and practical changes that matter to you.
