Hello, I am Jason!
I believe my skills best match with people struggling adjusting, encountering stress or anxiety, needing encouragement, dealing with grief, or experiencing some depression. My approach is to build a trusting, honest relationship with you. I want to provide you compassion, acceptance, respect, and empathy while also being honest and real with you. I use an eclectic approach, primarily a mix of person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and REBT. I also use a lot of encouragement and support. I provide links to articles and videos, personal feedback, and various worksheets to help give you insight, and build new skills. Although my focus is on our relationship and empathy, I am future-thinking. I think this helps with troubleshooting and goal-setting. Research has shown that having a solid therapeutic relationship often is supportive of a positive therapeutic outcome. If something isn’t working, let’s have a conversation about it. I can be flexible.
I have many years of experience working with all kinds of people with different kinds of struggles. I'm licensed in Montana but now live on the East Coast. I work a day job and communicate with my clients primarily in the evenings. That is also when I am available for appointments, usually between 7 and 10 PM EST. I understand if that does not fit your schedule. I typically respond sooner than 24 hours. For this reason, it’s pretty challenging for me to respond to urgent messages. I am available for chat, phone, or video sessions. I typically do 1-hour appointments. I have availability mostly in the evenings.
By partnering with me, I believe I can instill hope, restore confidence, and support you as you make the changes necessary to get you where you want to be. Just like having a gym membership doesn't make you fit, having a subscription here won't help you by itself. This will take work. It will take communication. Be an active participant in your mental health. You’re welcome to write messages or make appropriate appointments that fit your life’s routine. This is your service to use as you see fit.
I look forward to working with you. Thank you for trusting me. You can do this, and I can help.

Dr. Newcomb is a great therapist. He is caring, insightful and compassionate, and responds quickly. After only a few counseling sessions, I can feel the profound transformation of my mind with his help. I feel comfortable connecting with him and asking him various kinds of questions. I would recommend him to those who are looking for support and guidance in their lives.

I have recommended this service and my counselor by name to many people in my rural area where accessing counseling is difficult. For me it is over an hour away, and I'd have to find babysitting for 6 kids every week and have no access between appointments. This service is a lifesaver.

Dr. Newcomb is wonderful. I trust his advice. He's got a diverse counseling skillset and I truly appreciate having him as my counselor.
