About Jason

Jason Jenkins is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - practicing in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. He commonly addresses stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.

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, often alongside other approaches. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than clinical jargon.

Jason uses plain talk and steady structure in sessions. He listens to the current problem, then helps identify small, achievable changes. He mixes client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful.

For trauma-related concerns he may introduce EMDR to address distress tied to memories. For anxiety and mood concerns he often draws on CBT to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on DBT skills to improve emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

He pays attention to family issues, adoption and foster care matters, blended family strain, and challenges tied to caregiving and aging. He also brings experience with first responder stress and coping after disasters. Jason aims for straightforward, practical plans people can try between sessions.

To begin, readers should confirm current session formats and then follow the practice's sign-up steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How his approaches shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's concerns and reflects them back so the person feels heard and can consider new steps. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through parenting strain, family friction, or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses straightforward exercises and practice between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and tackle negative thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds practical skills for emotion regulation and tolerating distress in heated family moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the day-to-day realities that shape which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and may change as needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Ask about the available session formats so you can pick what fits your schedule and setting.
