About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 19 years of clinical experience. He helps people talk through trauma, anxiety, grief, addiction, and the stress of major life changes. Jason aims to make the first step feel manageable for those who are nervous about starting therapy.

He uses simple, direct approaches in sessions. Jason leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice harmful patterns and try different responses. He also draws on Client-Centered and Mindfulness techniques to keep conversations grounded in the client's needs and pace.

Jason has worked across many settings in Alabama and has nearly 25 years in human services when clinical and nonclinical roles are counted together. That background informs practical strategies for day-to-day problems like sleep disruption, substance use, low motivation, and caregiver stress. He brings long-term experience to familiar concerns such as depression, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and relationship difficulties.

Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step changes. Jason helps people build skills for managing anger, improving communication, and coping with loss or major transitions. He also offers support for aging and geriatric issues and for those connected to adoption and foster care concerns.

Conversations are paced to each person's comfort. Jason encourages questions about how therapy will work and what to expect before committing to ongoing sessions.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's experience and priorities, offering space to be heard and to make decisions at a comfortable pace.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they try approaches and adjust based on what feels most useful for daily life and long-term aims.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people outside the therapist's region to connect with a licensed professional who uses ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to address concerns like stress, grief, addiction, and aging-related challenges.
