About Jane

She is an LCSW with 11 years of experience and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Jane focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She also offers coaching around career questions and life purpose. Jane takes a straightforward approach in conversation. She listens first, then helps clients name small steps they can try.
How Jane works
Sessions often mix mindful breathing, story work, and goal-focused tasks. This makes it easier to practice new ways of coping between meetings. Her background includes work with people who identify as LGBT and those navigating ADHD, autism, chronic illness, or intellectual disability.
Jane draws on knowledge of disability history and social models when those perspectives are relevant. She aims to relate to each person’s experience without assuming what they need. Many people come for help with social anxiety, isolation, seasonal mood changes, or traumatic brain injury recovery.
Others seek support around money worries, chronic pain, or coaching for work transitions. Jane frames these concerns as practical problems to be tackled step by step. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled from Illinois.
She offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different rhythms and schedules.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people clarify their values and goals. This approach is useful for building confidence, improving self esteem, and working through identity or life-change questions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques. These tools help reduce anxiety, manage stress, and cope with mood swings by training attention and noticing patterns of thought and feeling without getting swept up in them.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, and then combine elements from different methods to fit the person. Clients and therapist check in together and adjust the plan as needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or tracking progress between sessions. These options make it possible to keep momentum and fit support into work, caregiving, or medical schedules.
