About Jane

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of social work experience based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction struggles, sleep and eating problems, and challenges tied to parenting and caregiving.

Her style centers on helping people find answers inside themselves while offering practical skills when needed. Sessions often mix listening with hands-on tools from cognitive and emotion-focused approaches. She writes plainly, listens carefully, and works collaboratively with each person to set realistic goals.

Jane trained at Marywood University where she earned her Master of Social Work, and she has worked in settings that include crisis counseling, geriatric care, residential treatment, and services for people with severe mental illness. She currently supervises behavioral health work that delivers mobile services to people with serious needs.

In practice she draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Those methods are used to address practical problems like communication, coping with pain or chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, and commitment or attachment issues.

Sessions are conducted in English and Jane accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on making space for a person to tell their story and feel heard. In practice this means the therapist reflects feelings, asks clarifying questions, and follows the client's lead to set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; this is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines skill teaching in areas like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as work progresses. That collaborative planning helps match tools to what a person actually needs day to day.

Jane has expressed interest in telecounseling, though the biography does not list exact session formats. Before booking, confirm which formats are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people work with a licensed professional from different locations.
