About Jason

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with three years of experience, Jason Zagaro works with adults and teens on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, and ADHD. He meets people who feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed and focuses on clear, practical steps they can use between sessions.

Jason uses an integrative, evidence-based approach that draws from multiple therapeutic techniques. He pays attention to current concerns and the life experiences and patterns that shaped them. Sessions are collaborative and aim to identify patterns, develop coping skills, and strengthen motivation for change.

He has worked with people facing substance-use and addiction issues, helping them explore triggers, notice behavior patterns, and build healthier ways to cope. He also supports those affected by a loved one’s addiction and the relationship strain that can follow.

When working with teens and young adults, Jason focuses on identity, self-esteem, family relationships, friendships, school and motivation. He aims to create a setting where younger clients feel respected and able to speak frankly about what they are facing.

Jason adapts his methods to each person’s age, goals, and personality rather than using the same steps for everyone. He emphasizes practical strategies clients can use between sessions to manage stress, improve communication, and make steady changes.

To begin, a person answers a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Jason describes his work as integrative and evidence-based, combining techniques to address immediate symptoms and underlying patterns. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and commitment style techniques encourage noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with motivation and feeling stuck.

Finding the right method is part of the early work. Jason will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and life context. That joint process helps set clear objectives and practical homework or strategies to try between sessions.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work is often useful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, shortening travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow sessions that focus on brief check-ins, skill practice, or in-depth conversation without needing to rearrange a full day.
