About Jane

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of clinical experience based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addictions, challenges with sleep and eating, parenting concerns, and money and financial issues. She also supports work around trauma, self-esteem, anger, and bipolar concerns.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She aims to help people find answers inside themselves while offering tools and structure when needed. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and steady progress rather than long lectures or jargon.

Jane uses a mix of approaches depending on each person's needs. She draws on Client-Centered practices to create a listening, respectful space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions.

Her background includes long-term social work roles and supervisory work in behavioral health. She holds a Master of Social Work degree and is licensed as an LCSW in New York. That experience informs practical strategies for everyday problems rather than only academic theory.

People who choose her often want straightforward tools and a calm, steady clinician. She is comfortable combining short-term problem solving with deeper work when it helps. For those with complicated life stressors, she aims to break issues into manageable steps and teach skills that can be used outside sessions.

How her approaches adapt to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through problems and find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs steady support and a place to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and homework, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, eating, and money-related worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, helpful for anger, mood swings, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps find what works best for coping, decision making, and daily functioning.

The biography notes telecounseling as a way she offers services, but it does not specify which session types are provided. Confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time so therapy fits into a busy day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill practice, and homework to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
