Jason Winton, LMFT
Practical, steady therapy for stress and addiction
About Jason
Jason Winton is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting strain, and depression. He writes plainly and listens closely to help people feel heard.
Background and approach
He draws on practical strategies so clients can try small changes between sessions. With 15 years of experience, Jason blends a strengths-based outlook with cognitive-behavioral and contemplative ideas.
He uses tools from motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and CBT techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also borrows skills from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work to build coping skills and practical steps forward.
His practice pays attention to attachment concerns, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are shaped around each person’s life, goals, and values.
Jason emphasizes collaboration so treatment plans fit each client rather than following a one-size-fits-all script. People who come for help can expect straightforward conversation and concrete practices to try between meetings.
He respects each person’s pace and focuses on achievable goals. Jason aims to make therapy a place where progress feels realistic and steady.
Jason sees clients in California and conducts sessions in English. He frames the first steps as part of a process - filling out a brief questionnaire and then scheduling a meeting that suits your calendar.
He encourages anyone who is ready to take a step toward better daily functioning to begin.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jason uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems because it focuses on practical steps and skills training.He also draws on motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck or unsure. This approach centers on the person’s own values and helps increase motivation for tackling addictions or difficult habits.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals and comfort level, and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering more ways to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum while balancing work, parenting, and daily demands.
