Background and approach
Sessions focus on everyday problems and steps that can be tried between meetings. Conversations often look at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape choices and relationships. Jane’s background includes long experience in independent practice and earlier work supporting people in homes and offices.
Her years as a spouse, parent, and grandparent inform a practical, grounded style. She aims to make sessions feel like honest, useful conversations rather than jargon-filled lectures. Therapy with Jane typically includes checking current habits, identifying small changes, and practicing new ways of relating.
She helps people talk through grief, addiction struggles, sleep problems, anger, and identity concerns in plain language. Progress is often measured in clearer thinking and more reliable day-to-day choices. People who want a therapist who combines life experience with a broad clinical background may find her approach helpful.
She meets clients where they are and works at a pace that fits their needs. The emphasis is on practical steps and reshaping the stories that get in the way.

How Narrative and Action-Focused Therapy Work Online
Jane blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to help people untangle difficult situations. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and then opens room for different, more helpful stories. It can help with identity, emptiness, and relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people build more supported ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane treats approach selection as a collaboration and will help clients try different methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is and isn’t working and shifts course as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling fit real life. Video calls let people meet face to face when a more in-depth conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, timely reflections, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options help make therapy easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints while keeping the focus on practical changes and clearer personal stories.
