Background and approach

Her work often addresses trauma, substance use, panic, and issues that overlap, like isolation, shame, or low self-esteem. Her approach draws on several methods that address both the body and the story a person tells about their life. She uses mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming feelings and somatic techniques to reconnect with the body.

Narrative and psychodynamic ideas help uncover repeating patterns tied to family of origin or earlier relationships. Jane aims for practical progress. She helps clients notice automatic reactions, practice new ways of communicating, and reduce strong emotional reactivity.

She also supports people working through process addictions, relapse concerns, or past sexual trauma. Sessions are offered in English and are provided remotely. Jane is based in North Carolina and holds the LCMHC credential.

She frames therapy as a shared process where the client’s goals guide the pace and focus of the work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jane uses mindfulness to help clients notice and regulate strong emotions and physical tension; this approach is useful for anxiety, panic, and stress management. Motivational interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change by focusing on personal values and small, achievable steps toward goals. Narrative therapy helps clients separate themselves from difficult experiences by rewriting the stories they tell about their lives, which can reduce shame and increase self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online formats offer flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face interaction and fuller discussion, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into different schedules and communication styles.
