She blends approaches that focus on attachment, the person’s experience, and thoughts and behaviors. That mix lets her address core relationship patterns, unhelpful thinking, and emotion regulation. Sessions can include skills practice, exploring relationship dynamics, and straightforward behavior changes.
Jana holds credentials as an LCPC and an LMHC and uses those qualifications to guide practice in Florida. Her background includes long-term work with trauma, addiction concerns, and mood disorders, which informs how she structures treatment plans.

How Jana’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to notice attachment habits and help people try new ways of relating to others.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In virtual meetings the therapist offers listening and reflection so clients can set goals and move at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions Jana can introduce simple exercises, track patterns, and practice new skills together between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging lets people share updates and questions between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
