About Jane
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She listens first and then tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. That can mean learning coping skills for mood swings, practicing new ways to handle conflict, or addressing patterns of codependency and substance use.
She uses methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. These tools help people identify unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and build skills for managing strong emotions. Trauma-focused and solution-focused ideas also shape her work when those fit the situation.
Jane has worked with people adjusting to major life changes and with those who identify with Veteran and Armed Forces issues. She also addresses concerns such as panic attacks, social anxiety, grief tied to separation or divorce, and challenges that come with intellectual disability.
She practices in Ohio and offers care in English. Sessions follow a plan agreed with each person, and she emphasizes clear goals, steady progress, and practical strategies that fit everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy begins by following the person's lead and building a respectful, listening-focused relationship. Online sessions using this approach prioritize getting to know what matters most to the client and shaping conversations around their goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. In an online setting CBT sessions often include clear homework, practical exercises, and short skill practices between meetings to track progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered remotely, DBT ideas can be taught in step-by-step exercises and practiced during follow-up sessions to help manage intense feelings and relationship moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and situation, and will adjust plans as needed based on what works.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of talk, skill practice, and brief assignments that fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.
