About Jason
Jason Amyx is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) in Kentucky with 12 years of experience. He has worked in clinical roles including treatment director and therapist, and he helps people with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief, addictions, relationship and parenting struggles, and anger.
He takes a straightforward, interactive approach in sessions. He uses humor at times and can be direct when a challenge is needed. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. He aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity while addressing hard problems head on.
Jason draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions. He blends client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. He also uses emotionally-focused ideas and draws on psychodynamic and Jungian influences when they fit the work.
In practice this looks like setting goals, testing small changes, and reviewing what worked between sessions. He will talk through patterns that keep problems going, teach skills for regulating strong feelings, and help restructure unhelpful thoughts.
He has experience with a broad range of ages and settings from outpatient work to treatment program leadership. People who want clear feedback, practical skills, and a therapist who can be both approachable and direct tend to do well with his style.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for change in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the early sessions. Jason will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means trying techniques, reviewing how they helped, and adjusting the plan over time.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used. Confirm current options before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another format. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt CBT and DBT exercises to work well over distance, using worksheets, skill practice, and focused conversation to build better ways of handling anger and stress.
