About Jana
LMFT in California with 15 years of experience, Jana Pitts helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also gives attention to codependency, feelings of emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, questions about life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia.
Jana uses a direct, person-focused style. She listens and works with clients to identify what is most pressing. Sessions include practical steps and gentle accountability to try new ways of coping and relating. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day habits rather than abstract theory.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Client-centered work means the conversation centers on the person's experience and priorities. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build small behavioral experiments to test different responses.
Jana favors straightforward, short-term skills alongside deeper exploration when needed. She helps people break big problems into smaller, concrete tasks they can practice between sessions. That approach is useful for stress at work, managing anxiety, and navigating life transitions.
She asks for honest feedback and uses it to adjust pace and focus. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's priorities and lived experience. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting what the client brings, and shaping goals from that material. This is often useful for exploring relationship concerns, grief, and feelings of emptiness.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) online emphasizes clear tools and short experiments. The therapist helps identify unhelpful thoughts and sets small behavioral tasks to try between meetings. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, social anxiety, and managing day-to-day routines.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Jana will work with the client to decide whether conversation-focused methods, CBT skills work, or a mix of both fits their needs and goals. She adjusts pace and tasks based on feedback and what proves useful in practice.
