About Jane
Jane Ronec is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with nine years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and parenting pressures. Jane also helps people dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, and problems with sleep or addiction.
Jane describes people as the experts in their own story. In sessions she listens for strengths and practical ways to use them. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what is getting in the way of everyday life and caring roles. She encourages small, realistic steps that fit into a busy household or work week.
Her work draws on a few different methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clearer values and committed action. She also uses client-centred listening to slow down and reflect what matters to the person in front of her.
Jane has particular experience supporting adults who have been affected by family violence and by major life changes. She offers help with attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Practical coping strategies and skills for emotional regulation are often part of the sessions.
People who come to Jane are usually looking for realistic, manageable ways to reduce overwhelm at home or work. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and booking a first appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions aligned with those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, feelings of being stuck, and parenting-related strain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's perspective through reflective listening and pacing, which helps when people need to process difficult experiences such as trauma or grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will discuss options and test what helps most based on a person's goals and day-to-day responsibilities. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy routine by making it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and schedule appointments around caregiving or work shifts. These practical benefits often make it simpler to practise skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into therapy.
