Jason Sargent, AASW

Jason Sargent is an AASW social worker and Doctor of Behavioural Health with seven years of practice. He founded Healthy Mind Int in 2018 to broaden access to mental health care. He talks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for people under strain.

He works with stress, anxiety and depression and helps people coping with major life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, and people with ADHD concerns. His background includes service in the Australian Federal Police Protective Services, where he experienced trauma and later used that lived experience in his work.

In sessions he focuses on practical strategies and clear goals. Conversations aim to identify small, actionable changes rather than long theory-heavy discussions. He also brings experience with post-traumatic stress and neurodiversity, including autism and attention differences.

Jason draws on his clinical training as an AASW social worker and his doctorate in behavioural health when planning care. He explains options in straightforward terms and checks in about what’s working. Those who want a therapist who combines lived experience with formal training often find this approach helpful.

He is based in Australia and conducts work in English. Before booking, confirm the session formats currently offered so arrangements fit your needs.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Jason's background and training centre on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim for clear, practical outcomes. One common approach focuses on learning skills to manage anxiety and panic - that typically involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and practising step-by-step coping strategies to reduce acute symptoms. Another approach he uses addresses trauma by helping people process distressing memories safely and build routines that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He works collaboratively to match techniques to a person's goals, needs and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust strategies over time rather than assuming one method will fit every situation.

If you are considering online work, check which session options he currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit their energy levels, for example simpler phone conversations when video would be tiring. Confirm the available formats when you arrange a session so you can pick what best fits your routine.
