People starting therapy will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability to begin working toward clearer goals and manageable steps.

How Jana blends approach and online care

Jana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. CBT focuses on clear, practical steps and small homework tasks to change patterns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which encourages clients to connect with personal values and accept difficult feelings while taking action toward a meaningful life. Attachment-based ideas guide attention to how early relationships affect current patterns and help people build healthier connections.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jana works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She will adjust strategies over time based on what is most helpful and what a person prefers.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be a brief check-in or support between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
