Jason Amyx, LPCC

Jason Amyx is an LPCC practicing in Kentucky with 12 years of counseling experience. He has worked as a treatment director and therapist in mental health settings and has supported people through a wide range of concerns. He uses a warm, direct style and aims to help clients move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Jason has experience helping people with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and addictions. He has also worked with eating concerns, bipolar disorder, intimacy and relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and career stress. His background includes supporting people affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse.

In session he blends several approaches and tailors the work to each person. He uses client-centered conversation to build trust and cognitive behavioral techniques to target unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also draws on dialectical skills, emotionally-focused ideas, and Jungian perspectives as they fit the situation.

His manner is conversational and sometimes humorous, while also willing to be direct and challenge patterns that hold someone back. He emphasizes respect and sensitivity and avoids stigmatizing labels when talking about struggles. Jason frames therapy as collaborative work that looks at symptoms and practical steps for change.

People often come to him when coping with major life transitions, midlife concerns, or complex stressors that affect work and relationships. If someone is ready to take steps toward a more satisfying life, he encourages a straightforward conversation about goals and a plan to reach them.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can explore goals. Online this looks like steady, empathic conversation that helps someone identify what matters most and the next steps to take.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to shift them. In remote sessions CBT can include thought records, activity planning, and problem-solving homework that fit into daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught and practiced across sessions to help with stress, anger, and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress unfolds to keep the plan useful and realistic.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography did not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can still use the same tools and exercises remotely to support steady progress.
