About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 19 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing trauma, anger, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and major life changes. Jason aims to make the first step easier by offering a steady, nonjudgmental presence.

He focuses on practical conversation and straightforward tools. Sessions often involve looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing new responses, and building small habits that add up. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas are mixed with clear problem-solving to keep work grounded and useful.

Jason also brings experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, bipolar mood issues, and grief. He uses motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and to strengthen commitment to goals. Client-centered methods guide how he listens and responds in sessions.

Many clients discuss relationship difficulties, communication problems, caregiver stress, or questions related to adoption and foster care. Jason treats these topics by breaking them into manageable steps and focusing on what someone can try between sessions.

He works in Alabama and conducts sessions in English. Jason emphasizes collaboration and practical plans tailored to each person’s life and needs. If you want a calm, direct approach that mixes acceptance, mindfulness, and skill-building, he may be a good match.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps people who feel stuck by creating small, value-led steps rather than trying to get rid of every difficult feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathetic listening to help someone feel heard and then decide on next steps.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they clarify which methods to try first and adjust the plan as work progresses.

The therapist’s profile did not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. Phone sessions can be less bandwidth intensive, while video sessions let the therapist and client use facial cues and screen sharing for worksheets. These practical benefits can help therapy become a routine part of everyday life without requiring large schedule changes.
