Jennifer Lane, LPC, LCPC

Jennifer Lane is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 20 years of clinical experience. She holds an LPC and an LCPC and practices in Illinois. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

She has long experience with adolescents and also has worked with adults. Much of her work centers on motivation, confidence, and challenges related to attention and focus such as ADHD. She also addresses social anxiety and phobias and common issues that arise for young adults.

In sessions she keeps the conversation respectful and direct. She adapts her approach to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Conversations aim to identify practical steps that fit day-to-day life and goals.

Her methods include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and client-centered strategies that follow the person's pace and priorities. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and focus, and solution-focused work helps people set clear, short-term goals.

Jennifer aims to help people build skills they can use between sessions. She supports gradual change through small, achievable steps. People who want straightforward, skills-based help for anxiety, attention challenges, or life changes may find her style a good fit.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Jennifer often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus. She also draws on client-centered work that follows the person's concerns and priorities, offering a supportive space to talk through problems and decide next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods to the person's needs in a collaborative way rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and guided exercises, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between appointments.
