About Jason
Jason Zagaro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with three years of experience. He works with adults and teens who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, relationship problems, and substance use concerns. He also addresses codependency and related patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble setting boundaries, and difficulty saying no.
Jason keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens for the patterns and relationships that feed a problem. Then he helps people notice what keeps those patterns going and tries small changes that can feel manageable. He uses everyday language and focuses on skills people can try between sessions.
His work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment approaches, and mindfulness. He also uses solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the person and situation. He does not use one fixed method with every client but adapts tools to what seems to help most.
Jason has experience supporting people with addiction and substance-use concerns. He helps clients explore triggers, identify behavior patterns, and build coping strategies. He also supports people affected by someone else’s addiction within their relationships.
When working with teens and young adults he acknowledges the stress of identity, school, family dynamics, and stepping into adult roles. He aims to create a direct, respectful space where younger clients can talk openly and work toward clearer goals.
How sessions work
How evidence-based methods are used online
Jason commonly draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment approaches. Cognitive behavior work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going and teaches practical skills to change them. Acceptance and commitment ideas focus on noticing inner experiences and choosing actions that match your values, which can help with feeling stuck or overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. Together they decide what techniques to use and adjust as needed over time.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help on low-data connections or when a quieter setting is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and tracking to work well in remote sessions when that format is available.
