Jared Fuson

Jared Fuson is a licensed counselor with more than a decade of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, and major life changes. Jared writes plainly and focuses on clear steps to reduce immediate distress and improve everyday functioning.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in therapy. Jared is licensed in Tennessee as an LPCC and holds LPC and LPC-MHSP credentials, including an Ohio LPCC and a Tennessee LPC-MHSP. Early in his career he ran intensive outpatient substance abuse groups and provided individual therapy and supervised visits with child welfare involved families.

Jared worked in correctional mental health, where he conducted assessments, developed diagnostic skills, and treated people with substance use issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, and psychosis. That work expanded his experience with high-needs cases and complex co-morbidity. He uses practical tools drawn from several therapeutic approaches to help people manage symptoms and make day-to-day changes.

In sessions Jared combines straightforward, skills-based work with a collaborative style. He draws from cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior skills, motivational interviewing, and person-centered listening. The aim is simple: learn manageable strategies and practice them between sessions.

To begin, visitors follow the site’s Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Jared aims to help people find clearer direction and steadier coping as they move forward.

How some approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on taking action toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings, then teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can reduce intense reactions and help manage anger and impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. That collaborative process means strategies can be adjusted if something is not working.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice new skills in the places where they live and work and then bring those experiences back into sessions for feedback and problem solving.
