About Jason

Jason Cartwright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and life transitions. He works with individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to care for themselves while juggling demanding roles. Jason also supports people coping with mood challenges, relationship strain, and addictive behaviors, including process and substance-related issues and panic disorder and panic attacks.

He uses a collaborative and relational approach in sessions. That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the person in front of him. Jason often explores how earlier relationships and experiences affect current feelings and reactions, and he pairs that with practical skill building when useful.

Jason draws on a psychodynamic framework to look at long-standing patterns and emotional habits. He also brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to teach tools for managing stress, anxious moments, and communication breakdowns. These methods are used together to address both roots and day-to-day symptoms.

Sessions move at a steady, respectful pace and match each person’s goals. Jason aims to help clients feel more grounded, increase self-awareness, and find clearer balance in everyday life.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to him for a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Jason blends psychodynamic ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address both long-standing patterns and day-to-day struggles. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings, which can help when anxiety or panic repeats in similar situations. CBT focuses on practical skills like thought reframing, breathing or grounding strategies, and behavior changes that reduce stress and manage panic moments.

Choosing the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful, then try techniques together to see what helps. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays relevant to daily life and long-term change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows therapists to combine talking and skill-practice in ways that fit a person’s routine, while tailoring pacing and tools to what helps most.
