About Jane

Jane Pompeo uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. She focuses on listening closely, building trust, and shaping conversations around each person's needs. Jane is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, with 15 years of experience based in Vermont.

She helps with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and depression. She also works with issues like coping with life changes, addictions, parenting challenges, anger, and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Additional areas she addresses include aging and geriatric issues, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and women's issues. In sessions Jane combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices. These tools help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, manageable changes.

She also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help clients rewrite difficult stories and set clear, practical goals. Her style is warm and direct. She aims to make sessions feel like a steady conversation rather than a lecture.

Treatment plans are shaped to fit each person, so what happens in the room depends on the goals the client brings. Jane believes taking the first step takes courage and offers steady support through the process. She works with people to build coping skills, improve day-to-day functioning, and find clearer next steps when life feels overwhelming.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online care

Jane often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online sessions practical and grounded. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations start with the person's experience and priorities, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to build trust and focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches simple ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes, which can be practiced between sessions.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Jane works with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress or needs change. That way the online format supports whatever style feels most helpful for the person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, continue work during big transitions, or check in between meetings. Many people find the mix of scheduled video or phone work and on-the-go messaging helpful for staying connected to their goals.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
