She uses clear, practical tools clients can try between sessions. Jan draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness and grounding skills for strong emotions. Jan aims to make therapy a respectful, affirming process. She pays attention to cultural background and identity, and she works with people navigating LGBT concerns and multicultural stressors.
Her style is collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on real-world problem solving. Sessions often focus on coping strategies for panic, grief, anger, and burnout. Jan also supports people dealing with workplace issues, money and financial stress, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue.
She helps clients build self-esteem and manage ADHD-related challenges in daily life. Her practice balances symptom-focused tools and longer-term personal work. Clients can expect concrete steps, reflections on patterns, and homework tailored to their goals.
Jan’s aim is to help people gain more control over moods and responses so they can move forward with greater confidence.
CBT and Mindfulness for Online Support
Jan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood and then test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often practical and task-focused, which can help with panic, depression, workplace problems, and addictive behaviors.She also offers Mindfulness Therapy to teach brief attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm. Mindfulness skills are useful when strong emotions, grief, or anger feel overwhelming and clients want simple tools to steady themselves.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jan will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone works well if bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or share reflections without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving forward.
