Jane Williams, LMHC

Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 39 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and the everyday challenges that come with health conditions and life change. Her style is straightforward and hopeful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She uses a client-centered, solution-focused approach that leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns and try practical changes. Sessions are conversational and collaborative - she asks questions, listens, and suggests simple exercises you can try between meetings. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas appear when helpful to ground feelings and clarify values.

Jane frames each plan around the person in front of her. She emphasizes strengths and achievable steps over long lists of tasks. Parents and caregivers can expect concrete strategies for managing stress, sleep, eating concerns, and emotion regulation, as well as support for career and identity issues.

Her work also includes attention to addiction, ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and intimacy-related concerns. She has experience with adoption and foster care topics, blended family communication, and body image struggles.

Jane practices in Massachusetts and conducts sessions in English. She aims to be warm and respectful, helping people clarify goals and make plans they can use in daily life.

Therapy approaches that translate well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, chronic health stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to improve mood and functioning; it is often used for depression, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and experience, using empathic listening to build a plan that fits the individual's life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try methods that match their needs and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what helps and what feels workable.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments in the spaces where daily life happens, which can help translate changes into real routines.
