About Jana
Jana Wilson is a LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with three years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.

She uses clear, conversational sessions that center on the person's goals. Jana combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns, test practical changes, and build emotional skills. Mindfulness techniques are used when slowing down and grounding are helpful.

Typical work with Jana looks like focused conversations about what feels most urgent. She helps people break problems into manageable steps. Sessions may include skill practice, thought restructuring, and reflective listening.
She also addresses issues such as blended family strain, caregiver stress, abandonment worries, and separation or divorce decisions. Jana uses motivational interviewing when someone is weighing change, and grief-focused approaches when people are processing loss.
How sessions work
How Jana Uses Practical Approaches Online
Jana blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in clear, practical ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them name their goals and priorities. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors together and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. DBT teaches concrete emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills that help with strong emotions, anger, and relationship strain.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jana will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort. That choice can shift as progress is made and priorities change.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Some people prefer audio when bandwidth is limited or phone for a quick review between appointments. Discussing practical scheduling needs is part of the initial planning with a licensed professional.
