With ten years of experience, Jan has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses life transitions, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem and meaning.

Jan often supports clients who identify as LGBT and people facing family or parenting strains. She also focuses on attachment wounds, blended family issues, commitment and communication problems, and compassion fatigue. Aging and end-of-life matters are part of her practice as well.

Therapeutic tools Jan relies on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered and existential approaches, Jungian ideas, and mindfulness practices. She adapts these methods to each person’s needs and preferences during sessions. Jan works with clients in Pennsylvania and accepts international clients for online formats.

Online approaches that fit busy lives

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people make space for difficult feelings while choosing behavior that matches what matters to them. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and empathy. The therapist reflects what you say and helps you find your own solutions and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that match those needs. This is a collaborative process that may combine acceptance, mindfulness, and reflective listening to suit each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, while phone sessions need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are handy for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family, or travel and to keep continuity when schedules change.
