About Jane

Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 39 years of experience helping people who want change. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, stress, and codependency. Her tone is practical and encouraging for anyone taking a first step toward support.

She uses a client-centered style that starts with listening to each person's story. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps that fit everyday life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build different habits.

Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas appear in her work to help people notice difficult emotions without getting stuck. Motivational Interviewing shapes conversations when someone is unsure about change. The result is a blend that aims to be respectful and strength focused.

Jane emphasizes partnership in therapy. She treats clients as the expert on their lives and helps them map small, realistic actions toward their goals. She also pays attention to practical needs like sleep, eating, parenting responsibilities, and career demands during planning.

Her practice reflects decades of hands-on experience with a wide range of concerns. Jane offers straightforward feedback and supportive coaching as clients try new approaches. People who want a calm, steady guide for solving problems and building coping skills may find her style a good fit.

How Jane Uses ACT, CBT and Mindfulness Online

Jane integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns because it focuses on changing patterns that keep problems going.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. Mindfulness practices are included to build more present awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress and trauma recovery.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and try methods that fit each person's needs and preferences. Together they check what works and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving duties, and it can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better suits daily life.
