About Jason
Jason Cartwright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults and adolescents who feel stuck, directionless, or drained by stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. Jason also addresses addictions, self-esteem issues, and concerns tied to life purpose and role expectations.
He uses a collaborative, relational style in sessions. Conversations often look at how past relationships and experiences shape current feelings and reactions. He will also teach practical skills to manage stress, panic, and low mood when that fits the client's needs.
Jason describes a steady, respectful pace in therapy. Sessions focus on building self-awareness and clearer day-to-day routines. He helps clients identify small changes that reduce overwhelm and create more consistent functioning.
Clients can expect a mix of reflective talk and concrete tools. Work may include examining attachment patterns, practicing cognitive skills for anxiety, and problem-solving around daily demands. The therapist aims to balance insight with techniques that support emotion regulation.
His practice includes attention to fatherhood issues, commitment and abandonment concerns, forgiveness work, and process addictions such as gambling or pornography. He also addresses traumatic brain injury related mood and adjustment concerns. Jason accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jason draws from psychodynamic work to look at how early relationships and past experiences influence current feelings and behavior. This approach helps people notice repeating patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or relationship difficulties.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to teach clear, practical skills. CBT can help with managing panic, lowering anxiety, changing unhelpful thoughts, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then adapt methods over time so sessions feel useful and relevant. That planning is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm available session formats before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often find video helps with face-to-face conversation, while audio-only calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed.
