About Jane

Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 39 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, low self-esteem, addiction, grief, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.

Her style is practical and person-focused. She centers conversations on what a client wants to change and uses clear, goal-oriented steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent element of her work, alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices.

Jane emphasizes strengths and problem solving. In sessions she helps people identify patterns that get in the way and then test small changes. That can mean trying a different thought, setting new boundaries, or practicing a brief mindfulness exercise to reduce reactivity.

She also brings techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational interviewing when needed. These approaches support values-based choices and help with motivation during difficult transitions. Treatment often mixes conversation, practical exercises, and short skill-building tasks to practice between sessions.

People contact her about relationship stress, care-giving strain, blended family concerns, and parenting pressures. She accepts a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues including depression, bipolar, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and chronic health related stress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, useful for parenting stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and personal pacing so clients can set the agenda and define goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will review your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as you try different exercises and see what helps.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, or allow for a quick check-in between obligations. They also let people practice skills in their usual surroundings and bring real-life situations into conversation without needing to travel. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistent progress while managing family and work demands.
