Jason Cartwright

Jason Cartwright is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of experience. He works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next. People bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, and questions about life purpose. Sessions often focus on everyday problems that interfere with work, parenting, or personal meaning.

Jason takes a collaborative, relational approach. He uses a psychodynamic framework to look at how earlier relationships and experiences influence current feelings and patterns. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to teach concrete skills for managing symptoms like panic, low mood, or stress.

In sessions he balances talking through past influences with practical tools for the present. That can mean noticing recurring relationship patterns one week and practicing communication or coping strategies the next. He pays attention to role expectations such as fatherhood and men’s issues when those come up.

Clients who bring concerns about addiction - including drug and alcohol use or process addictions like gambling or problematic pornography use - will find focused attention on behavior and coping strategies. He also addresses abandonment, commitment issues, forgiveness, and recovery after traumatic brain injury.

Jason works with people who want steady, measured progress rather than quick fixes. He invites clients to define goals together and move at a pace that fits their life. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s matching steps and schedule an initial session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jason integrates a psychodynamic approach and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his clinical work. Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and experiences influence current emotions and repeating patterns. It can help people understand why they feel stuck or why certain relationships trigger strong reactions.

CBT focuses on practical skills. It teaches ways to manage anxiety, panic, low mood, and problematic behaviors by changing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different actions. This approach is helpful for stress management, mood symptoms, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means adjusting pace, mixing insight-focused discussion with skills practice, and checking in about what is helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose sessions that match their comfort with video or audio and fit therapy around work, parenting, or other commitments.
