Jan Reinhart, LMHC

Jan Reinhart is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, anger, depression, and life changes. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and offers steady support as people work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

She draws on 38 years of clinical experience, including long-term private practice and roles as a therapist and clinical supervisor in community mental health settings. That background shapes a calm, practical approach to common problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can be changed to improve day-to-day life.

In the room, she blends talk-based work with hands-on skills. Clients learn ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, tolerate intense emotions, and clarify what matters to them. She also attends to relationship patterns and attachment concerns that come up across many issues.

Jan pays attention to the particular challenges of aging and geriatric issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin matters. Other areas she addresses include infidelity, divorce and separation, grief around life purpose, loneliness, guilt and shame, and impulsivity.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She listens first, then introduces tools that fit each person’s goals. People who want steady guidance paired with practical skills often find this mix useful.

Practical approaches for online care and skills practice

Jan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen mood and anxiety, and it often includes homework to practice new skills between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions that move a person toward their goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current connections, which can help when communication, trust, or closeness feel difficult.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss different methods, and tailor the plan to the client’s goals and daily life. Clients often try techniques from more than one approach until they find a mix that fits.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or a session fits a short break. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, journaling support, or working through specific exercises between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
