About Jared
Jared Fuson is an LPCC and a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. He holds an LPC-MHSP and practices in Tennessee and Ohio. Jared works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship problems, anger, trauma and coping with life changes.
He started counseling after finishing his bachelor's degree in psychology and later completed a master's in therapy. Early in his career he ran intensive outpatient program substance abuse groups, led individual therapy, and supervised Department of Children's Services visits. Those roles shaped how he works with substance misuse and co-occurring issues.
More recently Jared has worked full time in correctional mental health. There he developed diagnostic and assessment skills and treated conditions including depression, anxiety, psychosis, and trauma. That background informs his practical approach to assessment and treatment planning.
In sessions he uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Client-Centered Therapy. He combines these approaches to address symptoms and to help people manage reactions, make changes, and handle stressful life transitions.
Jared practices in Tennessee and provides services in English. He does not accept international clients. To begin, users follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial session using the subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Jared uses therapy methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. This can help when feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about life direction come up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jared will collaborate with each person to identify which methods seem most useful based on their goals, symptoms, and what they prefer. He mixes strategies from different approaches as needed and adjusts the plan over time so it fits the person's needs.
