About Jason

Jason Jenkins is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. He lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career and depression among his areas of focus.

He trained at Dallas Theological Seminary and holds a Master of Arts in Biblical and Professional Counseling. He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, as one of his approaches. Jason describes working with trauma across age groups and with people facing the fall-out of difficult events.

In sessions he favors straightforward conversation and practical skills. He helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and then tries out alternatives together. He uses elements of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful.

Jason often supports people dealing with family conflict, issues of commitment and communication, body image and eating concerns, and the pressures of caregiving or aging. He also lists first responder issues, adoption and foster care, and recovery from separation as focus areas he addresses.

His approach balances short-term coping strategies with deeper processing when needed. Sessions aim to reduce immediate distress while also building tools for ongoing challenges. To start, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How key approaches are used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It prioritizes the person's own goals and helps them feel understood while deciding what matters most to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anger active and teaches specific skills to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are useful when strong feelings are frequent.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is made. That process is shared and practical rather than prescriptive.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions can occur during a lunch break or between appointments. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they work with your routine and the issues you want to address.
