Jane Meyers, LCSW

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of clinical experience based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns. Her style is practical and grounded, focusing on what a person can do now to feel a little better and gain more control over daily life.

She blends clear, goal-oriented techniques with a warm, listening approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one tool she uses to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. She also draws from client-centered ideas to keep the work focused on each person's values and choices.

Jane has worked in many settings over her career, including behavioral health supervision and mobile services for people with serious mental illness. That variety shaped a flexible approach that adapts to different needs, from short-term coping to longer-term change. She explains options in plain language and helps people pick practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Marywood University and many years practicing as a social worker. She prefers to use straightforward tools rather than jargon, and she gently challenges unhelpful patterns while supporting small, concrete changes.

Sessions can happen online by video, phone, chat, or messaging. Jane is comfortable working with people from different places and will discuss how therapy can fit into a person's life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that make anxiety and low mood worse. CBT uses practical exercises and experiments people can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and reflecting the person's own goals. That approach helps people feel heard and decide which changes matter most to them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are used when people need tools for managing intense emotions and improving coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss options, try methods that match a person's goals, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helpful. The aim is collaborative problem solving rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or offer a simpler check-in, and chat or messaging suit quick updates or short coaching between live sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
