About Jane

Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin who draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas to address problems like addictions, intimacy-related challenges, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in home-based care, residential treatment, and outpatient settings, giving her a broad perspective on practical supports across life stages.

Her approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and individualized, with an emphasis on building a genuine therapeutic relationship and tailoring strategies to each person’s needs and preferences. Jane uses a range of evidence-informed methods such as CBT, DBT skills, ACT principles, and client-centered practices to help clients develop coping skills, improve communication, and navigate life transitions.

She also offers focused support around issues such as attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family dynamics, and fertility or fatherhood questions. Sessions aim to combine concrete skill-building with reflective work on values, meaning, and connection, allowing clients to move through challenges at a sustainable pace while working toward clearer goals.

Online Therapy Using Practical and Relational Approaches

Jane frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing concrete skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept internal experiences while committing to meaningful steps, a helpful fit for coping with grief, life transitions, and chronic stress. Attachment-based ideas are also woven into her work to explore relational patterns and improve connection and communication when those concerns arise.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative: she partners with each person to assess goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then adjusts methods over time so therapy feels relevant and practical. That process helps clients try skills, reflect on what works, and refine strategies together with a licensed professional.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to receive consistent care from home or another convenient location, support regular check-ins, and apply new skills between appointments to daily life.
