Hello, my name is Jared Nelson. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I went to the University of Nevada, Reno for my undergrad in Anthropology and Psychology. I received my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Arizona State University in 2018.
I specialized in male issues, sexual issues, porn addiction, internet addictions, gender issues in adults and children, sex issues, serious mental illness (SMI), substance abuse, depression, and anxiety.
I have a vast knowledge on LGBTQ+/GSM topics. I have worked at an acute rehab hospital, inpatient behavioral hospitals, adult/children behavioral programs, and outpatient clinics. I was an intern at the Arizona State Hospital: Civil and Forensic Units.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
