Jane Winston Doman , LMFT

Jane Winston Doman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who transitioned into a helping profession later in life. She returned to school and earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 1993, an achievement she regards as one of her most important decisions despite the challenges of being an older student.

Her clinical work has included individual therapy with adults, couples counseling, and support for many older adults and adult children caring for a parent. She has also worked in community mental health, assisting older adults and caregivers as they face stress and existential concerns. These experiences have shaped her interest in caregiver issues, aging and geriatric concerns, and the emotional demands that come with end-of-life and hospice contexts.

In therapy she aims to create a caring atmosphere where insight, growth, and healing can unfold through collaborative work. She helps clients identify coping strategies that align with their goals, drawing on an integrated approach that includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Therapy, and Existential Therapy. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings training in relationship and family dynamics to her work.

She works with a broad range of concerns, including anxiety and panic, depression, self-esteem struggles, grief and loss, family dynamics, relationship issues, and caregiver stress for adult children and older adults.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jane Winston Doman uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive environment where clients are listened to without judgment, helping them explore their own values and strengths and find direction during life changes. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. In addition, Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions to help clients develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies for stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jane works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor techniques and pacing so that therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for many people. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can engage in consistent care around busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver meaningful, goal-oriented work that supports progress from wherever clients are located.
