About Jana
Jana Dobesova is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, parenting challenges, and grief. She works with concerns that also include trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship and family issues, and career or life transitions.
Jana lays out straightforward goals and practical steps in sessions so people can begin to feel more capable and confident. She uses clear, conversational talk therapy alongside focused techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Jana draws on twelve years of experience to tailor what happens in the room to each person’s needs. She emphasizes what a person can control and builds on existing strengths. Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy.
Those approaches guide how she structures sessions, sets goals, and practices new skills with clients. Jana also has experience with expressive methods and targeted strategies for attachment and trauma-related concerns. Sessions may include learning ways to manage strong emotions, practicing communication skills, and setting small doable steps for change.
She explains strategies plainly and reviews progress along the way. The aim is steady, practical improvement rather than rushed fixes. Jana holds the LPC credential and has worked in counseling roles for over a decade.
She offers services via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and provides care in English for people located in Tennessee.
Approaches for online support and practical change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by shifting attention toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel distress. It is useful for managing anxiety, anger, low mood, and developing coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps rebuild safer ways of connecting with others, which can be helpful for relationship concerns and attachment issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time. This means the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer, and the therapist will help weigh which methods feel most useful.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Those options let people fit sessions around school, work, or family needs and practice new skills between meetings. Working remotely can make it easier to stay consistent with care and to use tools learned in sessions in everyday life.
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.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
