Background and approach
Her style blends straightforward problem solving with mindfulness exercises. Clients learn ways to notice thoughts and reactions, then test new behaviors. That combination is used for panic attacks, mood concerns, and improving self-esteem.
Jan gives special attention to people navigating LGBT issues, postpartum mood changes, and burnout from caregiving or work. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma histories with care and patience. Conversations tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented.
Therapy includes talking through current problems, building coping tools, and practicing small behavioral changes between sessions. Jan aims to help clients feel more steady, make clearer choices, and handle setbacks more easily. She offers services in English and Mandarin and practices from New York as a NY LMHC.
CBT, Mindfulness, and online options for anxiety
The first approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT. It focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. CBT is often used for mood disorders, panic attacks, and workplace stress.Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily feelings without immediately reacting. It teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for stress, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. Sessions may evolve over time as priorities change.
Online therapy can make scheduling easier and maintain continuity of care. Video calls are best for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, more frequent check-ins and flexible ways to reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
