Gottman Method Couples Counseling 

The Gottman Method is one of my favorite approaches to couples counseling because it equips partners with practical tools to transform daily communication while managing recurring conflict. Based on decades of relationship research, this framework helps couples identify the exact patterns that cause emotional distance so they can learn healthier ways to connect. I use the Gottman Method because I’ve seen how it helps couples look past immediate disagreements and deliberately build a deeply connected partnership.

Approach to Therapy
You’ve accomplished a lot, yet something still doesn’t feel quite right. Maybe you’re moving through a major life transition, carrying the weight of expectations, or realizing you don’t feel like yourself anymore. If you’re burned out, feeling more like roommates than partners, looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, you’re not alone.

I work with adults and couples who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or misaligned with the life they’ve built and want something that feels more grounded, connected, and intentional.

I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with person-centered therapy to help you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact—and to change patterns that no longer work and build skills that improve day-to-day life. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in your values and goals.

Many of my clients are high-functioning adults—professionals, parents, and partners—who feel successful on paper but disconnected internally. Therapy is a space to slow down, get honest, and move toward a life that feels more aligned.

Couples & Relationship Therapy 
For couples and marriage counseling, I use the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach grounded in more than 40 years of relationship research. Together, we focus on improving communication, navigating conflict more effectively, rebuilding trust, and strengthening emotional connection.

Whether you’re navigating recurring arguments, emotional distance, recovering from infidelity, or feeling more like roommates than partners, Gottman-based couples therapy offers practical tools to help you rebuild trust and connection.

About Jason
In my early twenties, I experienced a period of depression and anxiety that felt isolating and disorienting. Therapy helped me build healthier boundaries, develop self-compassion, and reconnect with who I wanted to be. That experience shapes how I work with clients today.
 
Outside of my practice, I’m a husband, father, and pet parent to two cats and a dog. I understand firsthand how transitions like parenthood, career shifts, and balancing work and home can shape identity and personal growth.
 
If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again, I invite you to schedule a session or reach out for a consultation. I offer in-person therapy in Fort Worth and telehealth sessions throughout Texas.

Anxiety and Panic Management (all therapists)

Vervewell therapists work with clients who may be experiencing regular bouts of anxiety. Sometimes anxiety shows up as panic. Learning simpler ideas like deep breathing and visualization are often utilized, as well as more complex modalities like reactive vs responsive, thought driven action, and curated headspace day after day. 

Anxiety represents the psyche’s alarm system responding to perceived threats, both real and Imagined. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, we’ll explore anxiety as a meaningful communication from parts of yourself demanding attention. You’ll develop sophisticated strategies for self-regulation while investigating the underlying conflicts your anxiety may be expressing. This involves learning to differentiate between realistic concerns requiring action and neurotic anxiety serving defensive purposes. By developing a more nuanced relationship with your anxiety, you transform it from tyrant to teacher, using its energy for growth rather than paralysis.
