As an LCSW, she holds a clinical social work credential that authorizes her to provide therapy and support for a range of mental health and life challenges.

Her clinical focus includes grief, loss, end-of-life concerns, relationship issues, forgiveness, aging, depression, and anxiety.

Her therapeutic style is described as nonjudgmental, open, and engaged. She invests time in getting to know each person and building a sincere therapeutic relationship, believing that people have the capacity to navigate life stressors when therapy is tailored to their individual style and goals. She has worked with people across the lifespan and views every life stage as offering opportunities for growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jane uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits; this practical approach is often used for depression, anxiety, stress, and related challenges. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Attachment-based therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and attachment, offering a way to address intimacy, abandonment, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver the same core approaches in ways that fit a client's schedule and comfort level, making it easier to maintain continuity of care from home or on the go.
