About Jared

Jared Fuson offers therapy for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, anger, and life transitions. He brings a practical focus to helping clients build coping skills and navigate complex emotional challenges, drawing on a range of evidence-informed methods.

Background and approach

Jared holds LPC, LPC-MHSP, and LPCC credentials and practices in Tennessee after beginning his counseling career following undergraduate study in psychology and completion of a master’s degree in therapy.

Over a dozen years in the field include work in community mental health and correctional settings where he led intensive outpatient substance abuse groups, provided individual therapy, supervised visits, and developed diagnostic and assessment skills.

That breadth of experience exposed him to substance use disorders, mood and anxiety conditions, psychosis, and trauma-related concerns, and it informs a pragmatic, client-centered approach. Jared aims to collaborate with clients to identify goals and apply strategies from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to support measurable change and improved daily functioning.

Practical approaches and flexible online care

Jared commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for reducing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he draws on to help people clarify values, build psychological flexibility, and pursue meaningful actions even when uncomfortable emotions are present. He also integrates client-centered principles, emphasizing empathy and collaboration so clients feel heard while learning skills that fit their lives.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jared works with each person to explore what resonates, setting goals together and adjusting methods as needs and preferences become clearer. The focus is on practical steps and measurable progress rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support without travel, allowing work on skills and goals consistently from wherever the client is located within his service region.
