About Jared

Jared Nelson is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who blends evidence-based therapies with a practical, client-centered focus. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while integrating mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, he applies motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools to support change, explore personal stories, and strengthen motivation for healthier choices. Raised in Las Vegas and trained in anthropology and psychology at the University of Nevada, Reno, he completed a Master’s in Social Work at Arizona State University in 2018.

His background includes work in acute rehabilitation, inpatient behavioral settings, adult and child behavioral programs, and outpatient clinics, plus internship experience in civil and forensic hospital units. Jared brings focused experience addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, trauma, grief, sleep and eating issues, relationship challenges, and ADHD among other concerns.

He also has extensive familiarity with LGBTQ+ and gender-related topics. Jared practices in Nevada and provides services in English.

He holds NV LCSW 9304-C and offers multiple remote session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jared commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in remote work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or mood difficulties, often by setting concrete goals and practicing new skills between sessions. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills to reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support coping with ongoing symptoms and life changes.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. He discusses goals, preferences, and past experiences with therapy to tailor techniques and may blend elements from different modalities so the plan fits each person’s needs and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or health concerns arise, and allow for different communication styles during the therapeutic process.
