About Jan

Background and approach

He draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to offer warm, nonjudgmental support, and Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past experiences affect current patterns. Jan has helped people cope with relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma, and major life transitions.

He also addresses issues such as caregiving stress, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and questions about identity. He is licensed in Tennessee as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In sessions Jan aims for clear, direct conversation.

He focuses on practical steps and steady emotional support rather than jargon. Parents and adults who want straightforward guidance often find this approach helpful. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions.

Therapy sessions use a cancellable subscription model and can be arranged by following the site’s Start Therapy process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and giving steady emotional support so people can explore problems at their own pace. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current patterns and can help when recurring issues keep showing up.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. That conversation guides which approaches are emphasized, and the process stays collaborative throughout.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, to continue care during transitions, and to use the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and conversation to each format so practical tools and steady support happen even when meeting remotely.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
