About Jared

Jared Arthur is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider, LPC-MHSP, licensed in Tennessee with 10 years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses parenting and broader family issues as part of his practice.

Jared focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. He listens to how home life affects daily functioning and helps people set small, manageable goals. Sessions aim to clarify what feels most urgent at home and what can change over time.

He has worked with a range of concerns connected to relationships and identity. These include intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image problems, and fatherhood issues. Jared also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment matters, and adoption or foster care questions.

In sessions he combines discussion with skills people can use between meetings. This can mean practicing communication strategies, planning manageable routines, or trying brief coping techniques for anxiety and mood shifts. He frames treatment around the client’s priorities rather than fixed protocols.

People looking for help with life transitions, parenting strain, or stress at home will find a therapist who focuses on clear goals and practical steps. To move forward he asks about current struggles, what has helped before, and what the client wants to be different.

How sessions work

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Many clinicians use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on problem-solving and skill building. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that drive anxiety or low mood; they work well for stress, worry, and mood concerns. Behavioral techniques concentrate on changing routines and actions, such as building sleep and activity schedules or gradually facing avoided situations to reduce fear.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about current problems, priorities, and what has felt helpful before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s goals and adjust those methods over time based on what works.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep regular appointments when travel or work get in the way. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or for options that do not require video when bandwidth is limited. Ask about practical scheduling and format details during the matching step so sessions fit into everyday life.
