About Jason
Jason Zagaro is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona with three years of experience. He works with adults and teens who are coping with anxiety, ADHD, depression, addictions, relationship problems, stress, and feeling stuck or disconnected from the life they want to be living.
He keeps sessions practical and collaborative. He listens to current concerns and asks about patterns, relationships, and past experiences that may be relevant. He aims to make it straightforward to identify what is getting in the way and what could be changed.
His work draws from several evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, psychodynamic ideas, and positive psychology. He mixes these methods to suit the person in front of him rather than applying a single method to everyone.
Jason has specific experience addressing addiction and problematic substance use. He helps people look at triggers, recognize behavioral patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and strengthen motivation for change. He also supports those affected by a loved one’s substance use within relationships.
When working with teens and young adults he pays attention to identity, self-esteem, family interactions, school and motivation. He offers straightforward conversations that aim to help younger clients feel respected and understood.
People come in with clear goals or with a vague sense that something needs to change. In either case he works to identify patterns, build coping skills, and map small, practical steps toward a life that feels more connected to individual values and priorities.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jason uses a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves looking at thought and behavior patterns and trying practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking small steps toward those values.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods together and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use week to week.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, or avoiding camera use when that helps focus on the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work in remote sessions while keeping the focus on practical steps and coping strategies.
