What Jan works with
Everything Jan lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Jan's practice.
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Jan draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on emotion and behavior. One common approach teaches practical skills for managing strong feelings like anger and anxiety. These skills include noticing triggers, learning calming steps, and practicing different responses to reduce reactivity. Another approach helps people build self-worth and motivation through short, actionable tasks and feedback. This work often focuses on small wins, clearer values, and steps toward a more meaningful routine.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so the plan fits day-to-day life and what actually helps the person make progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for quick updates, brief coaching, or checking in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and busy schedules.
