About Jason
Jason Sargent is a Doctor of Behavioural Health and an AASW social worker who began Healthy Mind Int in 2018. He set the service up to make mental health care more accessible. Jason brings seven years of practice experience and a focus on practical help for everyday problems.
He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and the fallout from trauma and abuse. He also helps those navigating life changes, ADHD and phobias.
Background and approach
Jason draws on his clinical background to keep conversations focused and solution oriented. Jason is open about his own experience of post-traumatic stress, and he previously served with the Australian Federal Police in a protective services and counter terrorism role. That background shapes how he understands first responder issues and veteran concerns without defining every session.
People who choose Jason can expect straightforward explanations and a calm style. He aims to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming symptoms through practical steps. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person’s needs.
He works across a broad set of concerns including attachment issues, neurodiversity such as autism and ADHD, chronic illness and pain, panic, mood problems, and aspects of sexuality like kink and BDSM culture. Jason practises in Australia and offers sessions in English.
Approach and online therapy options
Jason uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behaviour change. One common approach works on building coping and regulation skills step by step to reduce anxiety and panic; it helps people manage intense symptoms and regain a sense of control. Another approach concentrates on trauma-informed care, helping people process distressing experiences while teaching strategies to manage triggers and improve day-to-day functioning.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and current difficulties, then adapt methods to suit the person. This means the work evolves as progress is made and priorities shift.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time so it's easier to attend regularly. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that suits someone better. Confirm the session formats Jason offers before booking to make sure they match your needs.
