Jason Gearheart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with addiction, trauma, depression, low self-esteem, and related concerns. Jason aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through.

He focuses on practical conversations about everyday thoughts and habits. Sessions often involve looking at patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes in daily life. He works collaboratively, listening first and then offering ideas that fit each person's situation.

He also draws on existential ideas about meaning and motivational interviewing to help with change.

Over his career he has supported people with relationship struggles like commitment and communication problems, issues stemming from family of origin, and concerns such as hoarding, body image, and guilt. He also works with people affected by sexual abuse, abandonment, and isolation.

How Jason’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s pace. The therapist reflects what is said and helps people feel understood, which can make it easier to open up about difficult thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express emotions and improve how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jason will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. The plan is adjusted as progress is tracked so the therapeutic method stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options when booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have a shorter check-in when needed. They also allow for consistent appointments during life changes so therapy can continue without major disruption.
