About Jason
Jason Winton is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting challenges, and depression. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where parents can talk about hard moments and find practical steps forward.
Jason uses a strengths-based outlook that highlights what is already working for a person. He also draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
His approach includes contemplative practices and elements from Motivational Interviewing to support change and build motivation. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Jason mixes tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and solution-focused methods when they fit the situation.
He also integrates spiritual elements related to the 12-step tradition when clients find that helpful. Throughout the work he focuses on clear, practical steps parents can try between sessions. He keeps explanations plain and actionable so people can test small changes at home.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Jason encourages people to recognize the courage it takes to begin therapy. He collaborates with clients to set realistic priorities and build skills that make day-to-day parenting and coping feel more manageable.
What Jason works with
Everything Jason lists, in the therapist's own terms. Parenting is the reason this directory exists; the rest shows what else Jason helps people with.
Therapeutic techniques and online options for parents
Jason often uses cognitive-behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. This method helps people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, or parenting decisions by turning ideas into small practical experiments.He also integrates motivational interviewing to build readiness for change. That approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own reasons to make shifts, which can be helpful for addressing addictions and challenging habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's goals, preferences, and life situation, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy parents. Video calls let people work through material face-to-face when possible. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions, share quick updates, or get brief support without scheduling a full call. These formats help therapy fit into varied schedules and day-to-day demands.
