About Jason
Jason Amerson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, or life changes. He is Jason Amerson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas with 12 years of experience. He uses straightforward language and a practical style to support people taking steps toward change.
Jason believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the therapy room. He aims to build on those strengths while offering guidance and tools for managing symptoms like low self-esteem, depression, or difficulty coping after loss.
How Jason works
Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps people can use between meetings. He draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive approaches and EMDR to address trauma, anxiety, and related concerns. Those methods are used to reduce intense reactions, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and improve everyday functioning.
Jason explains each method and works with clients to choose what fits them. Outside of work he enjoys playing guitar and singing, golfing, hiking, and spending time with his sons. These interests inform a down-to-earth approach in sessions and a focus on practical ways to bring more meaning and balance into daily life.
People who want a direct, collaborative counselor may find his style helpful. He offers support aimed at increasing confidence, easing distress, and helping people move toward a more fulfilling routine.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
EMDR and cognitive approaches are two methods he commonly uses. EMDR focuses on reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and distressing reactions by pairing guided attention with memory processing. Cognitive approaches look at thinking patterns and teach practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then suggest techniques to try. The plan can change over time based on what works for the individual.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online sessions can reduce travel time and make it simpler to follow up after a work break or between appointments. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm the current options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
