About Jane

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. She also works with issues such as relationship strain, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, anger, and bipolar challenges. Jane practices from New York and offers services in English, including options for international clients.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She helps clients notice strengths they already have and build practical skills.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on problem-solving, clearer communication, and tools to manage strong emotions and difficult thoughts. Jane draws on several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses Client-Centered ideas to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns are central.

She also integrates aspects of Existential Therapy when questions of meaning and choice come up. Her training includes a Master of Social Work degree and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW. The license is NY LCSW 084489.

Jane has worked in a variety of settings across her career and currently provides behavioral health supervision in mobile services. She offers flexible session formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started is done through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling after choosing the Start Therapy button.

Therapy approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes following the client's pace and goals. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions, which can work well in conversation-based video or phone sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses concrete exercises and homework to change patterns, which adapts easily to written plans, live chat, and follow-up messaging.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills training, coaching around distress tolerance, and practice of emotion regulation can be supported through a mix of short messages, phone check-ins, and video work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed until a good fit emerges.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let sessions feel like in-person meetings while keeping travel time low. Phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide options for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when speaking live is difficult. These choices make it easier to maintain regular contact and build skills between sessions.

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.
