About Jared
Jared Fuson is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life challenges. He has practical experience supporting people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and money and financial issues. Jared aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on real change.
Jared earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in therapy. He began counseling work in 2012 and has about 12 years of clinical experience. He holds the LPCC, LPC-MHSP, and LPC credentials and is licensed in Tennessee and Ohio.
Early in his career he worked in community mental health, running intensive outpatient substance abuse groups, offering individual therapy, and supervising Department of Children’s Services visits. Those roles shaped his approach to addiction and recovery work.
He currently works full time in correctional mental health, where he developed diagnostic and assessment skills and gained experience with depression, anxiety, psychosis, and trauma. That setting broadened his work with co-occurring conditions and complex presentations.
In sessions Jared uses practical, skills-based methods drawn from several evidence-informed approaches. He focuses on helping people build coping skills, set achievable goals, and address behaviors that get in the way of daily life. He invites clients to work together to find what helps most for their situation.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values and works well for anxiety, depression, and life changes.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathy and attention to build trust. It helps when someone wants a calm space to talk through problems and find their own solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change patterns that lead to problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the provided information, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions while helping clients build skills they can use day to day.
