About Jason

Jason Stary, LCPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, panic, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. He works with adults and adolescents and draws on ten years of clinical experience in Kansas. He aims to meet clients where they are and support practical steps toward better daily functioning.

Jason focuses on skills that people can use between sessions. He teaches techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. He also uses attachment and family systems ideas when they fit a person's situation, and will include Christian faith perspectives if a client prefers them.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He checks what matters to each person, identifies strengths, and helps set small, achievable steps. Clients often practice simple skills for managing anxiety, mood, and relationships outside of therapy.

Jason has led group sessions in an intensive outpatient program since 2022 in addition to individual work. That group experience informs how he structures learning and rehearsal of coping skills. He draws on his own experience with depression and anxiety to understand what seeking help can feel like.

People who choose Jason can expect a straightforward, values-focused approach. He aims to help clients clarify goals, build useful habits, and move toward a more fulfilling life. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for skills-based work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood and behavior. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new behaviors for anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and plan practical exercises to use between sessions.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when time is limited, and support practicing skills in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to match a person’s schedule and needs.
