About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 19 years of clinical experience and a long history in human services. He offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, and eating or food-related concerns. He encourages small steps and practical changes so progress feels manageable.

Jason focuses on trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and relationship or family issues. His experience includes work across many settings, which shapes a flexible approach to each person’s needs.

In sessions he aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. He uses client-centered listening alongside structured methods to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. He often blends approaches to match what the person finds most helpful.

Expect sessions that emphasize practical skills, steady pacing, and clear goals chosen together. Jason coaches people through steps they can use between meetings, and he adjusts strategies as needs change. He speaks English and practices in Alabama while also accepting international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The therapist supports a collaborative process that starts with what matters most to the person seeking help.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make space for values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by focusing on small, meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can lead the pace of change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different strategies and keep what helps.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It also allows for steady continuity of care when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to meet goals.
