Jane Robbins, LCSW

Jane Robbins is an LCSW with 25 years of clinical experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She offers straightforward support for problems like sleep and eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar concerns. Jane also supports issues around caregiving, aging, body image, and relationship strain.

Jane uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people make changes that matter. She listens closely and then tailors tools to a person's needs rather than imposing a single technique. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's readiness for change.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Jane has worked across settings and with a wide range of concerns over her career, including hospice and end-of-life counseling as well as long-term mental health challenges.

In sessions she draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centered listening to prioritize what matters most to the person. She aims to help people build specific skills they can use between meetings.

Jane values building trust first, then moving toward practical steps. She encourages small experiments, clearer communication, and steady progress so people can notice real differences in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jane commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and action-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult feelings while building a more meaningful life. ACT can be helpful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and move toward valued goals. Jane pairs these methods with a client-centered stance that keeps the person's experience central and shapes the pace and focus of work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jane will discuss options and work together to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That collaborative decision-making helps make sessions useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversations and visual cues, phone works well if bandwidth is limited or a conversation is needed during a break, and texting or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins or practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
