About Jared

Jared Fuson is an LPCC, LPC-MHSP, and LPC licensed in Tennessee and Ohio with 12 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are stressed, anxious, dealing with depression, addiction, or the fallout from trauma and relationship problems. He also lists codependency among his focus areas. Jared writes plainly and works directly with practical concerns.

He began counseling after college in 2012 and completed a master’s degree in therapy. Early work included community mental health where he led intensive outpatient substance abuse groups and provided individual therapy. He also supervised DCS visits during that period.

More recently he has worked full time in correctional mental health. There he developed diagnostic and assessment skills and treated people with depression, anxiety, psychosis, and trauma. That work deepened his experience with substance use and co-occurring conditions.

In sessions he draws on a few different approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify values and move toward meaningful action.

Jared is straightforward about goals and progress. He often uses motivational interviewing techniques to support people who are weighing change, including around substance use. He keeps conversations focused on what can be done next, and on small steps that fit into daily life.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect his experience with men, first responders, veterans, fatherhood issues, and financial or commitment concerns. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

How sessions work

How Jared’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify what matters to a person and then builds small, value-driven actions into daily life. It can be useful for people feeling stuck by people-pleasing or fearful of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. That approach is helpful for panic, worry, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress without acting impulsively. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jared will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels practical. He uses that conversation to choose which methods to try and adjusts the plan as sessions progress. The original profile does not specify which session formats are provided, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, handle shorter check-ins, or use video when visual cues help and phone when bandwidth is limited. Therapists often integrate skills practice and brief homework between sessions so gains carry into daily life.
