About Jana

Jana Wilson is an LPCC who blends cognitive and client-centered approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She practices from Kentucky and draws on training in CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and other therapeutic styles to create individualized plans that address issues like depression, bipolar concerns, parenting struggles, and addictions.

Her background includes a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Murray State University and three years of professional experience as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

Jana emphasizes a warm, interactive style that honors each person's story while applying practical strategies for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes such as separation, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. Clients work on goals ranging from improving sleep and self-esteem to addressing anger, substance-related concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems.

Jana also supports people facing financial stress, isolation, forgiveness work, and midlife transitions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on respect, sensitivity, and compassionate problem solving tailored to each client's needs.

Evidence-informed approaches for online care

Jana often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and insomnia, while client-centered work emphasizes empathy and collaboration to help clients explore values, relationships, and self-esteem.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when clients need practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches can be adapted to address trauma-related symptoms, anger management, addiction concerns, and relationship difficulties, with techniques selected to match each person's goals.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Jana works collaboratively to determine what methods fit a client's needs, preferences, and circumstances. She will discuss options, try strategies together, and adjust the plan based on how well interventions are working.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. This variety of formats helps people fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style they find most comfortable.
