About Jana
She draws on client-centered ideas to create a respectful space where clients lead the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are available for managing intense emotions and improving coping over time.
Jana has a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Murray State University. Her background includes direct work with adults and adolescents on issues such as depression, trauma, parenting struggles, relationship tensions, and ADHD. She describes her approach as tailored, which means conversations and plans are adjusted to each person’s needs.
People also come to her for grief, addictions, sleep trouble, career stress, compassion fatigue, and midlife or financial concerns. She notes experience addressing abandonment feelings, blended family stress, control and commitment issues, and domestic violence recovery.
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. Jana encourages collaboration - clients set goals and she offers techniques and coaching to reach them. If someone is ready to take a step toward change, she aims to support and empower them.

How Jana’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach helps people clarify what matters and feel heard while deciding next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about noticing patterns of thought and behavior and testing small changes. It is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems because it gives practical exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved relationships, which can help when feelings become overwhelming.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
