About Jason

Jason Amyx is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 12 years of clinical experience. He has worked as a treatment director and therapist in mental health settings and has supported people facing depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and attention-related challenges.

He sees adults who are juggling parenting, work, and strained relationships. He also has experience with people coping with grief, addiction, bipolar symptoms, and eating or body-image concerns. Jason lists family and parenting among his focus areas and helps people address communication, blended family issues, and attachment concerns.

In sessions he blends several approaches. He uses client-centered dialogue alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. He also draws on emotionally-focused ideas and Jungian perspectives when they fit the problem at hand. The aim is practical: notice patterns, try new responses, and track what changes.

His style is interactive and straightforward. He mixes lighter moments with direct feedback and challenge when needed. That means sessions can include skill teaching, reflection on past patterns, and focused work on current problems like parenting stress or intimacy-related issues.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If you plan to work together, confirm the current session options before booking.

How sessions work

How Jason uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify concerns and feel heard while deciding what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks a problem into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses targeted exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and parenting-related stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and impulsive behaviors.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and how they prefer to work. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps in real life rather than sticking rigidly to a single method.

Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that skills practice, structured worksheets, and focused conversation translate well to remote sessions and can be integrated into parenting routines and daily life.
