Jane Williams, LMHC

Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 39 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, or changes in life circumstances. She also supports those working through relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to self-esteem and career strain.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions are client-centered and strengths-focused, with an emphasis on practical steps people can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) shapes much of her work, so conversations often include looking at patterns of thought and testing new ways of coping.

Jane draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to build healthier habits and handle setbacks without harsh self-judgment.

She describes the therapy room as a place for honest, positive collaboration. Clients set goals and Jane helps translate those goals into clear, achievable plans. The pace adapts to each person’s needs and readiness for change.

Jane is based in Massachusetts and holds an MA and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. She works in English and does not accept international clients. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How key approaches translate to online therapy

Jane often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she uses to help clients accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. That approach can help with grief, chronic stress, and motivation issues. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the person’s experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client’s lead.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jane will discuss options and tailor techniques to match a person’s goals, preferences, and situation. Together they will try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust plans over time so work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when someone prefers written communication. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
