About Jason
Jason Matia is an AASW social worker with six years of experience in Australia. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, or dealing with low mood. He also supports those facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem.

How ACT and client-centred work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to the person and on small, meaningful actions they can take despite discomfort. This approach is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood.Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s experience and aims to create an open, non-directive conversation. It supports clearer self-understanding and can help with self-esteem, relationship problems and feelings of isolation.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they like to work. Together they decide which approaches to use and adapt them as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, less need to travel, and flexibility when daytime or evening hours are limited.
