Jane Meyers, LCSW

Jane Meyers is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of practice. She is based in New York and lists family and parenting among her focus areas. She commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, and parenting pressures.

She prefers a collaborative, person-centered way of working. Sessions are aimed at helping people find their own solutions while using practical tools when needed. That can mean talking through thoughts and habits, practicing new coping skills, and working on communication patterns that cause repeated conflict.

Her training and career have included a range of settings. She has worked in geriatric care, forensic and residential settings, crisis counseling, and services for people with severe mental illness. She also currently supervises behavioral health work that provides mobile services to people with serious mental health needs.

Jane completed a Master of Social Work from Marywood University after finishing a bachelor’s degree through an online state university and earlier study at a community college. She notes many years of hands-on social work since 2001 and ongoing private practice work to broaden her experience.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive and behavioral tools and skills from dialectical and emotionally-focused approaches. She says the aim is to help people recognize strengths they already have and to practice clear strategies for day-to-day challenges. The tone is straightforward and practical, focused on problems at home and everyday caregiving demands.
