About Jane
Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 39 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and anger. Sessions address both everyday frustrations and longer-standing patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools are used to build flexibility and focus on what matters most.
In sessions she helps people set small, doable goals. That can mean learning skills to calm intense feelings, practicing new conversation patterns, or planning steps to manage work stress. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she supports change when people feel stuck or unsure about next steps.
Jane keeps the work concrete. She talks through specific situations clients bring in and practices alternative responses in session. She also helps people track progress between meetings and adjust plans when something does not work.
Her background spans many concerns including addiction, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, grief, career problems, and intimacy-related difficulties. She accepts work with LGBT issues, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and chronic health challenges. Sessions are conducted in English in Massachusetts.

Approaches used in online therapy and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are strong, which can be helpful for anger and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to reframe unhelpful thinking and try different responses in triggering situations like work frustration or tense family moments.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and collaboration. That approach supports people who want a steady, nonjudgmental conversation while they sort out goals and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what seems most useful and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to try and how to measure progress.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited and for continuing work between in-person visits when that helps maintain momentum.
