Hi, I am Dr. Jason Newcomb. Although I currently reside in East Tennessee, I work via telehealth in the state of Montana as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I use an eclectic approach consisting of person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and REBT to help my adult clients deal with adjusting to life circumstances, stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. I have been licensed approximately 9 years and have over 20 years mental health experience.
My approach
My approach is based on the needs of the individual. I use a person-centered approach to show compassion, acceptance, respect, and empathy to build a trusting, honest relationship with my clients. At times, I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy challenge distorted beliefs and to help them move from where they are to where they want to be.
My focus
My style tends to work best with adults facing life’s challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. I provide empathy and compassion while offering gentle confrontations, insight, and direction. My goal is to help my clients transition from their current struggles to an improved mindset and outlook.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, calm, friendly, and understanding. I want to provide a safe place for my clients to explore their concerns without judgment, and I want them to feel heard.
My journey to mental healthcare
I considered being a counselor when I was 16 when I took interest in people talking to me about life. I established a plan to complete my education in clinical psychology. Years later, I became a licensed counselor, first in Mississippi and later in 2015 in Montana. I have worked in outpatient settings, school settings for children, higher education as a counselor, and as an online therapy provider as well. I want to build a trusting relationship to help people understand themselves better and develop a plan to their best selves.
My goals for you
My intent is to create a trusting relationship with you so that I have a clear understanding of what led us to working with one another. Then, together, we will identify what feeling better looks like for you. Based on that, we will work to create goals that will help you get to where you want to be. I will check with you to see how you are progressing, discuss barriers, and help you identify potential solutions to those barriers as well.
My first session with you
You can expect a friendly, empathic, and compassionate atmosphere in our first appointment. This time is a great opportunity for us to connect and start working toward a trusting relationship and for me to understand your circumstances and how you have been feeling. It is important to tell your story, and I value hearing it. I will ask questions to help my understanding all while offering a safe, welcoming presence.
