About Jane
Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to help people manage strong feelings like anger, anxiety, and grief. Jane draws on practical tools and steady conversation to guide parents and individuals through hard times.
She has ten years of experience in a range of settings, including in-home care, residential treatment, and outpatient work. That background shaped a practical approach to problems such as addictions, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Jane uses clear techniques to help people build coping skills and make small changes that matter. Her work blends methods from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new behaviors, and clarifying values.
The goal is to make day-to-day life more manageable and meaningful. Jane also addresses relationship and family concerns in individual therapy, including communication problems, parenting stress, blended family issues, and intimacy-related difficulties. She supports people coping with major life changes, chronic illness, or caregiver strain.
Practical problem solving and steady emotional support are central to her style. People who meet with Jane can expect straightforward conversation, active listening, and collaborative planning. She emphasizes small, achievable steps and adapts the approach to each person's needs.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can be useful for anger, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into concrete steps, teaches practical skills for managing anxiety and depression, and helps change unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is often used when strong reactions or relationship patterns cause repeated problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients choose and adapt methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She listens first, then suggests techniques and checks in to see what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, ask brief questions between sessions, or use therapy in short bursts during the day. These formats aim to make consistent work possible around busy schedules.
