About Jared
Jared Arthur is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBT-related concerns. Jared also helps those coping with life changes and relationship struggles.
He focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, identifying patterns that cause stress, and testing small changes to see what helps. Jared adapts how he works to match each person's situation and goals.
Over a decade in practice has brought experience with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and struggles with self-esteem. He also has a background helping people with eating and body image concerns, chronic illness and pain, and co-morbid mental health conditions. Family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and forgiveness work are also areas he has addressed.
Jared has worked with clients around communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence effects, and compassion fatigue. He has also supported people exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way. His approach aims to make problems feel clearer and more manageable.
If you are an adult dealing with early-adulthood pressures such as starting a career, navigating relationships, or feeling behind, he can help you sort priorities and set realistic next steps. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect Jared's ten years of practice in Tennessee.
How evidence-based methods work for online sessions
Jared uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioral techniques involve testing small changes in daily routines and activities to build confidence and lessen avoidance.He also integrates skills-based strategies for managing stress and emotional ups and downs. These strategies teach concrete tools for handling intense feelings, improving communication, and responding to triggers. They can be useful for relationship problems, grief, trauma recovery, and managing chronic health challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jared collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. If one way of working doesn’t fit, he will help adjust the plan so therapy stays relevant and practical.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit around school, work, or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, or let someone choose a lower-bandwidth option when needed. Licensed professionals, including Jared, can adapt session pacing and tools to make remote work effective.
