Jane Amons, LPCC, LPC

Jane Amons is a licensed counselor with 30 years of experience helping people facing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction. She works with adults who are struggling with relationship pain, chemical dependency, and major life changes. Her style is respectful and direct, and she focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

Jane uses straightforward talk and goal-focused work to help people feel steadier day to day. She listens carefully, then tailors sessions to each person's needs. That might mean learning skills to manage intense feelings, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or setting small goals to rebuild routine.

Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, panic and post-traumatic stress, and substance use concerns. She also supports people dealing with divorce, family conflict, loneliness, and issues around guilt and forgiveness. Jane adapts her approach to the problem at hand rather than using the same plan for everyone.

Sessions may include skill practice, problem-solving, and checking progress toward goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and trauma-focused methods. Those tools are used to break problems into manageable parts and to build coping skills.

People who choose Jane can expect steady support and practical guidance. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative pace. If you want help sorting steps forward, she frames therapy as a shared process of small, doable changes.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into specific steps and teaches practical skills for handling mood, panic, or negative thinking. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects concerns, and helps build self-directed goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with mood swings, relationship conflict, and urges related to substance use.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will review your concerns and goals, then suggest one or a blend of methods. Together you decide what to try first, check how it feels, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow full face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, journaling, or when writing helps process feelings. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other routines while still focusing on the same approaches used in person.
