Background and approach
Her listed experience is three years as an LPCC and she brings attention to common parenting strains alongside emotional and relational concerns.

Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness techniques are also part of her approach when calming intense feelings or managing strong reactions.
She keeps language simple and focuses on what a person can try between sessions. People come with many issues she lists, including sleep problems, attention concerns, addiction struggles, and career stress. Jana also addresses family conflict, blended family questions, commitment and control issues, and the strain caregivers can feel.
She frames treatment as practical steps toward clearer routines and steadier moods. Her style is warm and interactive. Jana aims to respect each person’s story and tailor a plan to their needs.
She invites anyone ready to take a first step to make a plan together and try tools that fit their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy puts your goals and experience first. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to you, and helps shape sessions around your priorities. This approach is useful for parents who want practical, respectful conversation about daily challenges.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses simple experiments and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood swings. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for tolerating strong emotions and improving distress tolerance when reactions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust what you try until it feels useful and realistic for your life as a parent or caregiver.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video sessions work well for in-depth discussion and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when you prefer shorter, written exchanges.
