About Jane

Jane Ayers is an LPC based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

With two decades of clinical experience, she brings a trauma-informed lens and a collaborative stance to counseling, honoring each person's history, values, and goals while supporting practical steps toward change. Her work emphasizes exploration of current patterns and relevant past experiences to make sense of emotions and behaviors.

Jane uses a language of mindful awareness and reflective listening to help clients identify meaningful goals, uncover anchors that promote stability, and generate new options for coping and growth. She frames therapy as a cooperative process in which the client’s perspective guides the direction of work.

Clients can expect a thoughtful blend of evidence-informed approaches, attention to life meaning, and steady support for self-directed change. Jane welcomes the chance to walk alongside people as they navigate transitions, rebuild after loss or trauma, and develop clearer, more workable ways of living.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility

Jane often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another frequent influence, encouraging people to clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility while learning ways to live with difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and early caregiving influences to improve current relationships and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes ongoing conversations about what is and isn’t working so treatment can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy with Jane is offered through several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments while still engaging in structured, evidence-informed work toward their goals.
