About Jason

Jason Scrivner is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Alabama with 19 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, anger, and problems with self-esteem. He also supports those coping with life changes, grief, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, relationship and family stress, and identity issues related to being LGBT.

Jason uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to identify what matters most to each person. He draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. Sessions tend to center on practical strategies for managing moods, stress, and unhelpful behaviors while noticing values and priorities.

He has worked in human services contexts for nearly 25 years and in clinical roles for 19 years. That background includes work with people affected by trauma, substance use, and grief, and with those navigating major life transitions such as adoption or caregiving changes. His experience shapes a problem-solving stance combined with attention to feelings and motivation.

In sessions, Jason encourages direct talk about the issues causing strain. He assists with concrete skills - for example, ways to reduce angry reactions, build steady routines, or try small experiments that test new habits. He also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and sensations without getting overwhelmed.

To begin, people follow the directory steps to choose online therapy options and schedule a first appointment. Jason accepts sessions in English and works with international clients as arranged.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions guided by personal values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. Motivational Interviewing supports changes by clarifying what a person wants and strengthening their motivation to try concrete steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jason will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and daily life to decide which methods to emphasize. He adapts techniques based on what feels practical and workable for the person over time.

The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel. Because the directory listing does not specify session formats, confirm the current options before booking. In practice, online work can make it easier to have short check-ins during a break, use audio-only when bandwidth is low, or schedule sessions across time zones for international clients. Licensed professionals can still use ACT, CBT, and motivational approaches effectively in virtual appointments, focusing on skills, experiments, and mindful practices that translate to daily life.
