Background and approach
Jane uses approaches that center the client's experience and thought patterns. She draws on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking. Existential perspectives support conversations about meaning and life direction when needed.
Her practice addresses a wide range of issues including anger, self-esteem, eating and substance concerns, family of origin struggles, abandonment and codependency. She also supports people coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and the fallout of infidelity or loss. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and practical coping skills.
Jane helps people strengthen communication, set boundaries, and make decisions that fit their values. The focus is on real changes that make daily life easier and more meaningful.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and supported while they sort out values, decisions, and emotional reactions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing problem-solving, brief check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, and other routines while still working with licensed professionals on anxiety, coping skills, and life transitions.
