About Jason
Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Alabama with 19 years of clinical experience. He focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes, and he lists LGBT issues, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, and relationship difficulties among his areas of work.
Jason uses practical, direct methods in sessions. He listens and helps people name what is happening for them. He then works with them to try skills they can use between meetings. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused rather than academic or abstract.
His background spans nearly two decades of clinical practice and about 25 years in the broader human services field. That range of experience has given him exposure to crisis work, longer-term therapy, and support for people dealing with loss and major life transitions. He draws on multiple approaches when that fits the person in front of him.
In his work he often brings in cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to clarify values and build commitment to small, concrete steps. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing show up when people want help with focus and behavior change.
People are asked to be active participants in sessions. Homework or short practice tasks are common. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that fit everyday life and on tracking progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that match those values. Online sessions using ACT can help someone struggling with direction, low motivation, or repeated avoidance by turning values into practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. In an online session CBT often involves identifying specific thoughts, testing them, and assigning short practice exercises to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean leaning more on ACT in one phase and using CBT or motivational interviewing in another. The choice is adjusted as progress is tracked and new needs arise.
The practical benefits of meeting online are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around school, work, or commuting. They also allow people to join from different locations, which matters for international clients.
