About Jane

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of clinical experience who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and grief. She also supports concerns such as addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, bipolar symptoms, and self-esteem struggles. Jane offers practical guidance in everyday language and aims to help people reconnect with their own strengths during hard times.

Her approach centers on helping clients find answers that make sense for their lives. She draws on Client-Centered work alongside cognitive and behavioral tools to shape clear, manageable steps. Jane also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas when they fit a person’s needs.

Jane trained for her Master of Social Work at Marywood University and has worked as a social worker since 2001. She has experience in a range of settings that include behavioral health supervision and mobile services for people with serious mental illness. That breadth informs how she tailors sessions to practical everyday challenges.

Sessions focus on concrete skills and simple conversations about what matters most to the client. She encourages short-term goals and skills practice between meetings, along with space to reflect on deeper themes when that feels right.

People can expect a direct, respectful style that emphasizes collaboration. Jane values clear communication and helps people set realistic steps for change while recognizing how resilience shows up in small ways.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people discover their own solutions. In online sessions this means conversations that prioritize the client’s perspective and goals, with the therapist reflecting and guiding rather than directing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps. Online CBT often uses short experiments and homework between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines practical skills for managing intense emotions with strategies for tolerating distress and improving relationships. It can be useful when strong emotions or ongoing crises make daily life harder.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills practice, reflective exploration, or a mix of both so the plan fits the client's needs.

Jane has noted experience with telecounseling, so ask about the specific session options before you book. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, let you fit sessions into workdays, and reduce travel time. It also supports using short focused check-ins or longer reflective sessions depending on what helps you most.
