About Jane
Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings ten years of experience in a range of settings, including in-home, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Jane works in a direct, nonjudgmental way and aims to build a warm, sincere therapeutic relationship from the first meeting.
She uses practical techniques that help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Jane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice patterns, try small changes, and take values-driven steps. She also integrates client-centered approaches to match what each person needs.
Jane has worked with people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, codependency, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, aging challenges, fertility and fatherhood issues, and the stress of caregiving. Her style emphasizes listening first, then shaping clear, doable goals together.
Sessions focus on what matters now and next. Jane helps people learn coping skills, reframe difficult thoughts, and practice new behaviors between meetings. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and pays attention to the whole persons life and responsibilities.
To begin, Jane asks questions to understand a persons current struggles and values. From there she and the client decide which tools and practices will best fit their daily life and goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and everyday life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce depression and anxiety symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current relationships and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasnt worked before. Together they will try approaches or combine techniques until the client feels the work fits their needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone continue therapy while managing caregiving responsibilities, work breaks, or medical appointments. Ask about scheduling details and any format preferences when completing the matching questionnaire.
