Jana Grooms, LCPC, LMHC

Jana Grooms is a licensed clinical professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor serving people in Florida. She helps with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of other life challenges. Jana brings 22 years of experience to her work and focuses on practical tools people can use right away.

Her style is warm, steady, and nonjudgmental. Sessions aim to create a space where clients can be honest and breathe. Jana uses clear, straightforward language and offers hands-on strategies rather than vague theory.

Jana blends approaches to match each client's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolbox for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective.

People who come for help may work on coping with big emotional reactions, improving sleep or eating patterns, managing addictive behaviors, or recovering from painful memories. Jana also supports people dealing with career stress, parenting strain, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving roles.

Sessions are focused on specific goals and practical steps. Jana helps clients practice skills between meetings and checks progress along the way. The aim is to help people feel more grounded, reduce overpowering emotions, and get back to everyday life with clearer coping options.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and helps people form healthier ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace, offering listening and support while the client names what matters and chooses direction.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and checking in about what feels most useful.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and keep work consistent despite busy days. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or written reflections. This variety helps people maintain progress while balancing life demands.
