Jane also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar and chronic illness, caregiving burden, body image, and intimacy-related issues. She frames challenges as problems to solve, not flaws to fix.

How Jane’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry or avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety, sleep, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and respect, giving people space to make sense of their experience and build on their own strengths.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jane collaborates with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and preferences. That can mean trying short experiments, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you meet face-to-face when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging can work for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life demands.
