Jane Collingwood , LCSW

Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who brings ten years of experience to her practice. She centers sessions on listening and building a genuine connection, then uses practical tools to help people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people find steps that fit their life. Jane blends several therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and shift toward meaningful action. Attachment-Based work helps when relationship patterns or intimacy issues feel stuck. Her background includes work in homes, residential treatment, and outpatient settings. That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different life stages and challenges, from parenting and blended-family stress to chronic illness and caregiving strain. She also supports people facing fertility questions, aging and geriatric concerns, and grief around loss. Sessions focus on clear skills and real-life practices. Jane draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and from client-centered ideas to make space for each person’s values and pace. She helps people manage anger, compassion fatigue, and the practical fallout of life changes. People who reach out can expect straightforward planning and steady support. Jane works with issues related to abandonment, codependency, communication problems, addiction, and commitment worries. She speaks English and practices across a range of common concerns affecting well-being.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jane often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. ACT focuses on what matters most to someone and on small steps toward those goals, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current intimacy and communication. This approach can help people recognize repeating patterns and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that make sense for those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, processing between sessions, or for people who prefer to write rather than speak. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain ongoing support from a licensed professional.
