Jason Amerson, LPC

Jason Amerson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Arkansas with 12 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Jason aims to support people as they take early steps toward clearer goals and more manageable days.

He emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on practical steps, building confidence, and handling difficult memories or upsetting events. Jason uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and EMDR in his practice to address trauma, mood, and motivation concerns.

Clients can expect a supportive, down-to-earth style. He works to break problems into manageable pieces and to create realistic next steps between sessions. His background includes a decade-plus of seeing people through grief, relationship shifts, adoption and family-origin concerns, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and substance-related issues.

Outside of therapy he plays guitar and sings, golfs with friends, spends time with his sons, and hikes. Those personal interests inform a relaxed, relatable approach in sessions. He describes the work as collaborative and focused on helping people move toward a more fulfilling life.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

EMDR is a method aimed at reducing distress tied to upsetting memories by using guided processing and focused attention; it is often used for trauma and abuse-related symptoms. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression and to build more effective coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit best with their goals, needs, and pace. That choice may change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also gives people the option to join sessions from different locations, which can help maintain continuity of care during moves or travel.
