About Jason
Jason Amyx is an LPCC, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, practicing in Kentucky with 12 years of clinical experience. He has worked as a treatment director and therapist in a mental health facility and has experience with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship and parenting issues.
He has worked with people across age groups during his career. His background includes helping clients who experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and supporting those facing mood changes, attention differences, and substance concerns. He also lists blended family issues among his additional focus areas.
Jason uses a mix of approaches in session. He draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. He also integrates elements from Emotionally-Focused and Jungian ideas when they fit the work.
Sessions tend to be direct and interactive. He balances some humor with straightforward feedback and practical steps. Conversations aim to identify small changes clients can try between meetings and ways to manage intense feelings when they arise.
People who come for help with parenting stresses, stepfamily tensions, grief, or anxiety can expect collaborative planning and clear goals. He asks about the problem, tries concrete strategies, and adjusts the plan as needed based on what helps most.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions using this approach keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the client and let the therapist mirror back observations to help clarify feelings and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Delivered online, CBT often includes short skills practice, worksheets, and homework that a client can use between sessions to track progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. In an online setting DBT skills work can be taught, practiced in session, and then applied during daily life with follow-up discussion in later meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs and preferences, and he will adjust the plan based on what is helpful. This is a practical conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also allow people to use video or phone choices depending on what suits their schedule and energy level.
