Jane Collingwood, LCSW

Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people facing grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental and she focuses on building a real working relationship with each person.

She uses practical, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address symptoms and daily challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and client-centered listening help people clarify values and take small steps that match what matters to them.

Jane has worked in homes, residential treatment settings, and outpatient clinics, so she understands different care environments. That background informs how she adapts sessions to what a person needs in the moment. She aims to tailor therapy to each person’s style rather than forcing a single method.

Common concerns she helps people with include stress, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, intimacy questions, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also offers support around aging, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and fertility-related worries.

Sessions emphasize clear, doable strategies and steady support. Jane listens, helps name the problem, and works with each person to try approaches that fit their life and goals.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying what matters to them and taking small, value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors with practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong emotions and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. If a technique isn't helping, she will adjust the plan and try different tools together.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make therapy fit into busy days by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone choose audio-only when video feels like too much. Licensed professionals can guide practice between sessions with exercises and strategies that people can use in daily life, helping therapy feel practical and relevant.
