Jason Stary

Jason Stary, LCPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. He aims to meet people where they are, notice their values and strengths, and support them toward the goals that matter to them. He writes plainly and works to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

He has practiced since 2015 and leads group sessions weekly in an intensive outpatient program since 2022. He draws on cognitive behavioral tools and teaches skills from dialectical behavior therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He also brings attachment and family systems ideas into sessions when they are relevant.

Jason integrates a faith perspective when a client wants that included. Sessions focus on practical skills, clear steps, and steady progress rather than abstract theory. He encourages people to try short, concrete practices between meetings so changes can show up in daily life.

He is open about his own experience with depression and anxiety and uses that perspective to empathize with people who are struggling. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and worked through.

Jason works in Kansas as a licensed clinical professional counselor. He supports concerns such as caregiver stress, communication and commitment issues, control struggles, fatherhood questions, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, jealousy, and searching for life purpose.

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching simple practices to handle painful thoughts and move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to change patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That can mean mixing ACT, CBT, DBT skills, attachment ideas, and client-centered conversation to find what helps most in daily life.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep appointments during life transitions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or phone-based conversations when video is not preferred. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework to work well over distance so skills can be practiced between meetings.
