About Jana

Jana Grooms is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Florida and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strains.

She speaks plainly and focuses on practical tools. Sessions tend to include cognitive strategies, skills for managing strong emotions, and ways to understand attachment patterns in relationships. Jana also uses mindfulness practices and some existential ideas to help people make sense of difficult choices and life changes.

Her work often centers on identifying patterns that lead to repeated conflicts or resentments. She helps people notice triggers, try different responses, and practice new skills in small steps. Therapy can include talking through painful memories, learning coping skills for stress, and addressing behaviors that cause problems at work or home.

Jana has experience with addiction-related concerns and with people facing gender and identity issues in LGBT care. She also supports those dealing with body image, codependency, family of origin problems, and guilt or shame. Her background includes work with grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Therapy uses an individualized mix of Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Existential approaches. She asks about each person's goals and adjusts tools as needed. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process to schedule a first session.

Approach choices and how online sessions work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and how to build steadier connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep anger or anxiety going and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in heated moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as you track what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people use techniques between sessions in their usual environments and review how new skills land in everyday situations. Licensed professionals can help shape a plan that matches your needs and daily life.
