Jana Wilson, LPCC - Therapist in Kentucky

About Jana

Jana Wilson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky who uses a client-centered approach to guide people through parenting and family challenges. She focuses on listening closely, understanding each family’s everyday struggles, and building practical steps parents can use at home.

Her style is warm and direct, and she aims to make conversations feel safe and useful from the first session. Jana blends cognitive behavioral techniques with dialectical skills and mindfulness to address stress, anxiety, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

She also works on relationship matters, intimacy concerns, substance use, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Sessions often involve concrete tools for managing emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and improving communication. With three years of experience as an LPCC, Jana draws on training in several therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs.

She has helped people navigate family problems, blended family stress, divorce and separation, and caregiver strain. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, jealousy, guilt, and midlife transitions. Jana offers short-term coaching-style support as well as longer-term therapy depending on goals.

Many clients practice new skills between sessions and bring back real situations to talk through. Her work aims to strengthen coping skills, reduce conflict, and restore functioning at home and work. Jana holds Kentucky license KY LPCC 272387.

She conducts sessions in English and provides online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit family life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person you bring to sessions. It helps people feel heard and then work from their own goals to find solutions, which can be useful for parenting concerns and family conversations.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions. Sessions teach skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress related to family roles.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and managing conflict. It is practical for people who want tools to reduce arguments, handle strong feelings, or improve relationships at home.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what works best. That collaborative testing helps match methods to day-to-day family needs rather than forcing one way of working.

Online therapy makes these approaches flexible. Video calls let a therapist see family dynamics and coach communication. Phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, skill reminders, and support between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to practice new skills in real time.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
