How Jana’s approaches can work online
Jana uses client-centered listening to understand what matters most to each person and to create a steady, respectful therapy relationship. This approach focuses on empathy, reflection, and helping clients voice their goals so work in sessions matches real needs.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful patterns and try different, testable ways of coping with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time. Clients can expect a mix of listening, skills practice, and small homework tasks to apply between sessions.
