Background and approach
Mindfulness strategies help people calm racing thoughts and build steadier routines for sleep and daily life. Jana has three years of clinical experience. She has helped people with depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, addiction issues, and trauma.
She also addresses parenting strain, caregiving stress, intimacy concerns, and conflict around blended families or separation decisions. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Jana aims to make sessions feel warm and respectful while tailoring plans to each person’s needs.
She helps clients set small, realistic steps and checks progress along the way. People come to Jana for a mix of short-term problem solving and longer work on patterns that repeat in relationships or self-worth. She also offers coaching-style support for career or financial stress.
Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and focused on helping clients move toward more stable days.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jana often uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead. This approach helps people who need validation and want to shape therapy around their values and priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress that comes from repetitive thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are employed to help regulate intense emotions, improve distress tolerance, and strengthen interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jana will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and teaching skills that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Text-based or chat options suit people who prefer short check-ins or ongoing written support between sessions.
