About Jason

Jason Zagaro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with three years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, and ADHD. Jason also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems.

He uses a practical and collaborative style. Sessions focus on understanding current struggles and the patterns behind them. He listens without judgment and helps people name what feels off in their lives.

Jason draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. He selects tools from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, solution-focused methods, psychodynamic ideas, and positive psychology. The choice depends on a person’s needs and goals rather than a single formula.

He has experience working with addiction and problematic substance use, helping clients explore triggers, spot patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and address emotional issues linked to substance use. He also supports people affected by addiction in their relationships.

Jason has worked with teens and young adults on identity, self-esteem, family relationships, school and motivation, and the move into adulthood. He aims to create a respectful setting where younger clients can speak openly about what they’re experiencing.

Many people come with a clear goal, while others just feel stuck. Jason helps identify holding patterns, develop useful coping skills, strengthen relationships, and set practical next steps toward change.

Practical approaches and online sessions

Jason uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with attention and motivation.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be helpful for stress, avoidance, and managing cravings or urges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jason aims to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences through collaboration. He adapts the plan as progress and challenges become clearer.

Session logistics vary by provider, and the biography did not specify formats. Confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a study schedule, a work break, or a busy week. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or let someone avoid the commute to appointments.
