About Jane
Jane Rhea is an LCSW who centers client-directed care and practical problem solving. She combines client-centered work with mindfulness and coaching to help people manage stress, anxiety, career concerns, and money-related worries. She draws on eleven years of experience supporting people through life changes and chronic health or neurodiversity-related challenges.
She brings a disability-affirming lens and a focus on neurodiversity to sessions. That perspective shapes how she talks about employment, burnout, and day-to-day coping. She names structural barriers and helps people translate big obstacles into concrete next steps.
In sessions she uses collaborative conversation and motivating questions to clarify goals. She also guides simple mindfulness practices for managing overwhelm and grounding in difficult moments. Narrative techniques are used to reframe painful stories and open new options for action.
Her background includes social work and disability studies alongside years of advocacy and community involvement. That mix informs an interdisciplinary approach that blends counseling and coaching tools. She supports people facing trauma, chronic illness or pain, and mood conditions alongside practical life and career decisions.
People can expect an approach that values their lived experience and practical outcomes. The work often focuses on coping skills, goal setting, and small experiments to test what works. Jane is English-speaking and practices from Illinois while also accepting international clients.
How therapeutic approaches shape online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them choose practical next steps. Mindfulness therapy introduces brief exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus, which can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with chronic illness. Motivational interviewing uses questions and reflections to clarify readiness for change and to build motivation for steps like job searches or financial planning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life constraints and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed and adjusted over time to match what actually helps.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make regular appointments easier to fit into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can happen around work or medical care. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while they work on stress, career moves, ADHD strategies, money concerns, or coping with health and disability issues.
