Her style is straightforward and respectful. She adapts the pace and topics to match what each person needs at the time. This can mean short-term skill coaching or a longer series of sessions to look at deeper issues.
Over a long career Jan has supported people through common stressors at home and work. She draws on approaches that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and improving emotional regulation. That helps with anxiety, anger, and low mood.
People who choose Jan generally want practical tools and clear goals alongside reflective discussion. To begin they complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The first meetings are used to clarify goals and agree on a plan going forward.

How evidence-based methods work in remote sessions
Jan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and improving emotional regulation. Cognitive-oriented methods involve identifying thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood and practicing alternative ways of thinking. These approaches help with worry, low self-esteem, and stress by giving concrete skills to try between sessions.She also applies behavioral skill work that targets actions and routines. That can include planning steps to manage anger, building small habits for self-care, or setting workplace boundaries. Behavioral work tends to help when someone needs practical, step-by-step changes rather than only talk.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. They review progress and adjust the plan together as work unfolds.
