Jana Grooms , LCPC, LMHC

Jana Grooms is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating or sleeping struggles, and work or career stress. Jana also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue. She lists women's issues among her areas of focus and brings 22 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Her approach is warm and steady. Jana aims to make sessions feel non-judgmental so people can speak openly. She describes therapy as a place to breathe and to try practical strategies rather than a place for pressure or blame.

Jana draws on several well-known therapy methods to guide sessions. She uses client-centered techniques to follow each person's pace, attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, and cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and existential ideas also appear when exploring values, boundaries, and coping skills.

She practices as an LCPC and as an LMHC in Florida and brings two decades of experience to common concerns like grief, life transitions, and family of origin issues. Sessions can include short-term skill building or longer work on deep patterns depending on the person's needs.

Jana offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. People who want to begin can use the site’s matching process to find a good fit and schedule sessions.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and coping

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways to connect. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and pace; the therapist listens closely and follows what the person brings to each session to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more useful alternatives to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision making means approaches can shift over time as new issues arise or progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, quick updates between sessions, or more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, move forward during life transitions, or keep regular contact while traveling.
