Jeffrey Janes, LCSW

Jeffrey Janes is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. He focuses on practical steps people can use right away. His style is straightforward and goal-oriented. He aims to help people build confidence and feel more in control of their lives.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, working with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and change everyday habits that keep problems going. Sessions focus on small, doable actions people can try between meetings. Jeffrey emphasizes ownership - helping people make choices within what they can influence.

Jeffrey draws on six years as an LCSW and a longer career in mental and behavioral health roles. That background shaped his approach to motivation, attachment and issues like abandonment, guilt, and shame. He also addresses body image, control struggles, life purpose, and social anxiety.

In sessions he talks through problem solving, practical coping skills, and ways to strengthen resilience. He encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. Parents reading this will find language and examples aimed at everyday family life and the stresses that come with it.

Jeffrey practices in Utah and meets with people using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He conducts work in English and uses clear, direct guidance to help people move forward.

CBT approaches and options for online sessions

Jeffrey uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems alive. CBT sessions focus on practical techniques such as thinking exercises and behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and help manage stress and social fears.

He pairs that approach with goal-focused problem solving to address issues like family conflict, trauma-related reactions, guilt, shame, and low self-worth. Sessions often include homework tasks and small experiments to test new ways of coping and build confidence over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means adapting CBT tools when needed and checking in about what's working as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people talk face-to-face, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging support shorter check-ins or written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the plan to individual needs.
