About Jana
LICSW in the District of Columbia with 25 years of experience, Jana Berhow helps people manage life changes, ADHD concerns, and coaching goals. She sees adults who want practical strategies for mood, anxiety, trauma, or substance use issues. Sessions focus on clear steps and active listening rather than long theory talks.
Jana uses a client-centered base and selects methods to match each person’s needs. That means she listens for what’s most urgent, then brings in tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused work. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at finding what works in daily life.
Her background spans outpatient behavioral health and work with people facing co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. Over 25 years she has supported people dealing with panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and issues linked to adoption and family of origin.
In sessions she often focuses on symptom management, building problem-solving skills, and setting short-term goals. For someone coping with seasonal mood shifts, ADHD-related challenges, or social anxiety, she uses practical techniques to reduce interference in work and relationships.
Jana works in English and holds a DC LICSW, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She practices in the District of Columbia and uses an approach that mixes listening with action so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.

How her approaches translate to remote work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions begin by clarifying goals and priorities so work stays relevant and practical.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find specific skills that reduce symptoms. CBT is often used for panic, social anxiety, mood challenges, and OCD-related patterns because it emphasizes short-term, actionable exercises.
Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. It can help with stress, seasonal mood shifts, and everyday concentration difficulties often seen with ADHD.
Finding the right mix is collaborative. Jana begins by listening to goals, then suggests approaches that match needs and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what actually helps between sessions.
The biography does not list which session formats are offered. Confirm the available session types before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices in their regular environment. Licensed professionals work with clients to pick the cadence and format that best fit their schedules and goals.
