About Jana
Jana Wilson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, licensed in Kentucky with three years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and related life concerns. Jana uses straightforward, conversation-based sessions to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Before becoming an LPCC she completed a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her background includes work with people facing relationship struggles, parenting problems, work stress, and mood challenges. She brings practical tools rather than abstract theory during sessions.
Jana mixes client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. That means the work often focuses on what is happening day to day, what thoughts and behaviors keep problems going, and skills for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness practices are used to slow reactions and increase awareness of physical and emotional signals.
Sessions typically involve talking through recent situations, trying small experiments between visits, and practicing skills in-session. She also addresses issues linked to identity, addiction, sleep problems, attention challenges, and career strain. Jana can discuss concerns such as abandonment, blended family conflicts, caregiver stress, and financial worries.
Her style is direct and interactive. People who want concrete strategies for handling anger, reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or coping with major life changes can expect clear explanations and step-by-step suggestions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jana commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-centered work focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and letting conversations guide what to address next. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce intense emotional reactions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when stronger emotion regulation is needed. DBT strategies include skill practice for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving communication. These approaches are useful for anger, anxiety, grief, and relationship stress because they combine understanding with concrete skills to try between sessions.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That way the work stays focused and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Session format details were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or offering sessions at times that better match work and family schedules. Therapists can also adapt exercises for phone or video meetings to suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth situations.
