Jane Meyers, LCSW

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, and caregiving stress. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, trauma and abuse, and aging and geriatric issues. Her work covers a wide range of concerns in everyday language and practical steps. She believes people are resilient and already hold many answers inside themselves. In sessions she listens closely and asks questions that help clients notice patterns and choices. She blends direct strategies with reflective conversation so people leave with concrete steps to try between meetings. Her background includes long experience as a social worker in New York and roles supervising behavioral health services for people with serious mental illness. She has worked in settings that include residential care, crisis counseling, and services for older adults, which informs her practical approach. Therapy sessions often draw from cognitive and behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and habits. Skills from dialectical and emotion-focused approaches are used for building emotional regulation and improving close relationships. Existential ideas can help people find meaning when life feels confusing or empty. Jane has run a private practice alongside other work to broaden her experience. She values telecounseling as a way to reach people who might otherwise struggle to access care. She asks new clients to describe their goals so she can tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jane commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where the person leads the pace and focus of the work. That approach helps when someone needs empathy, validation, and help clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete behavior changes; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing self-destructive reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most. Jane has said telecounseling expands access, so confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a work break or between appointments. Some approaches lend themselves to homework and skills practice that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients apply new tools between meetings.
