About Jaisen
Jaisen Thomas is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in New Jersey and Texas with four years of counseling experience and nearly twenty years of pastoral counseling. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and major life changes.
Jaisen focuses on practical conversation and problem-solving. Sessions tend to include straightforward talk about what’s happening now and steps people can try between meetings. He uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside relational models to address communication, attachment, and coping skills.
His background in pastoral counseling informs his approach to grief, meaning, and identity questions. That experience also shapes how he supports people working through issues of faith or multicultural concerns when those topics come up.
Clients often bring concerns about work, school, feeling stuck after big changes, or relationship strain. Jaisen also supports people dealing with addictions, mood disorders, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
In session he listens, reflects, and suggests exercises drawn from evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, Gottman Method, and Internal Family Systems. He aims to help people build clearer communication, manage strong emotions, and gain tools for everyday life.
Before scheduling, people should check which session formats are currently offered. The practice is based in New Jersey and sessions are conducted in English.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Jaisen commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with specific behavioral experiments or exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through clear rules for communication and distress-tolerance techniques.He also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work and Internal Family Systems to unpack internal parts that influence behavior. Together these methods help address communication problems, attachment issues, and patterns that keep people stuck. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process based on a person’s needs and goals.
