About Jane
She listens first and asks questions to understand each person's story. Sessions focus on skills you can use between visits, like stress management tools, ways to handle painful thoughts, and steps for improving communication. Work is done at a pace that fits each person’s needs and goals.
Jane supports people coping with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief around separation, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also helps those adjusting to chronic pain, illness, aging, caregiver stress, and the practical strains of life purpose and isolation.
Her approach draws from several methods including acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, existential thinking, and a client-centered stance. That mix lets her tailor sessions toward skill-building, values-based choices, or deeper meaning work depending on what a person needs.
In a typical visit Jane gives space to tell your story and then moves to concrete exercises and conversations that support change. She emphasizes real-world steps people can try between sessions to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change symptoms and improve daily routines. This approach often includes homework assignments and practical skills practice.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and personal preferences. That collaboration may lead to a focus on values-based action, skill-building, or exploring meaning in life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow quick check-ins when needed. It also supports doing skill practice between visits and keeps continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals tailor the pace and tools so therapy fits into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
