Online support

Approaches that fit your life online

Jared commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and manage stress in the moment. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to try. Mindfulness therapy builds simple awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and improve sleep, anxiety, and daily coping.

He also draws on motivational interviewing when people feel stuck about making changes. That approach focuses on the person’s own reasons for change and helps build motivation step by step. Together, these methods can address addictions, mood symptoms, and the everyday challenges of work and relationships in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jared will talk with each person about goals and preferences and tailor methods to what fits best. He treats the process as a partnership and adjusts plans based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with him is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone calls are useful when bandwidth or camera time is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use methods that match how someone prefers to communicate.
