About Jason
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of experience, Jason Simon helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on issues like guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Jason’s work draws on years in crisis and substance-use settings and emphasizes practical, relationship-based counseling.
Jason earned his master’s and specialist degrees in counseling from the University of Florida. He has worked at the Alachua County Crisis Center, Meridian Behavioral Health Care, and Metamorphosis residential substance abuse treatment center. Those roles shaped how he approaches difficult moments and helped him learn what people need in hard times.
In a typical session he listens, asks clear questions, and helps people name what’s happening. He focuses on building a dependable working relationship rather than on jargon or long assessments. Conversations aim to reduce immediate distress and identify steps the person can try between sessions.
Jason brings direct clinical experience with addiction and crisis work. That background informs practical strategies for managing urges, coping with loss, and reducing day-to-day anxiety. He uses approaches grounded in evidence and adjusts them to each person’s situation.
People can expect straightforward feedback and collaborative problem-solving. Sessions are intended to be understandable and concrete, with attention to helpful skills and realistic goals. The emphasis is on working together to find what helps in ordinary life.

How Jason uses evidence-based approaches online
Jason draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build practical skills. One approach focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going. This involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them, and trying different responses to reduce distress.Another common approach centers on coping with cravings and relapse risk for people dealing with addictions. That work includes planning for high-risk situations, practicing urge-management skills, and strengthening supports that reduce isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what proves helpful.
The site’s session formats are not specified in his biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - they can save commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or reduce the need to be on camera for part of a session. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work while focusing on practical steps people can use between meetings.
