She also supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, ADHD, and issues related to identity such as LGBT concerns. Jana writes plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Jana often focuses on what a person can control in daily life and works with strengths a person already has. She blends talk-based work with expressive tools when helpful, such as sandtray and drawing techniques.

Jana brings 12 years of counseling experience and holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Her training includes approaches that help with mood, behavior, and relationships.

Her methods draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered counseling, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix lets her tailor sessions to goals like reducing anxiety, improving self-esteem, managing anger, or navigating caregiving and chronic illness stress.

People who come to Jana can expect a collaborative, steady approach. She encourages small, actionable steps and practices people can use between sessions. The aim is to build skills that fit real life and to help people move toward the life they want.

How Jana's approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions that match their values. It is helpful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to chronic illness or caregiving roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that fuel distress and testing new behaviors to change mood. This approach is often used for depression, anxiety, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and works to build safer ways of relating and responding in close connections.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that seem most helpful. If something feels off, adjustments are made together so the work better fits real life.

The original biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use expressive exercises or worksheets during a session. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote settings while collaborating on clear steps to practice between sessions.
