About Jared

Jared Fuson is an LPCC, LPC-MHSP, and LPC licensed in Tennessee and Ohio with 12 years of clinical experience. He began counseling after college in 2012 and has worked across community and correctional mental health settings. Jared lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationships, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes among the issues he addresses.

He has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in therapy. Early in his career he facilitated intensive outpatient substance abuse groups, ran individual therapy, and supervised Department of Children’s Services visits. Those roles introduced him to practical relapse-prevention work and brief, goal-focused group settings.

More recently he has worked full time in correctional mental health. There he developed diagnostic and assessment experience and built skills in treating substance use and complex presentations including psychosis, trauma, depression, and anxiety. This work also exposed him to a range of co-occurring conditions and personality-related concerns.

Jared uses several clinical methods in sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions typically focus on specific skills, clearer communication, and realistic plans for change.

He lists additional focuses such as fatherhood issues, first responder and veteran concerns, codependency, infidelity, money and financial issues, panic attacks, and substance use disorders. To begin, Jared asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which is useful for panic, mood problems, and everyday stress. Motivational Interviewing centers on resolving mixed feelings about change and can support work on addiction or commitment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jared will work together with the person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include mixing strategies from different approaches when helpful.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used. Confirm the current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone participate without being on camera or use lower-bandwidth options when internet speed is a concern. Licensed professionals adapt session length and focus to practical needs so therapy can fit into daily routines.
