About Jane
Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 39 years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and other life changes. Her work often addresses relationships, parenting concerns, addictions, grief, and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Jane uses a straightforward, strengths-based style in sessions. She listens first and helps people set clear, practical goals. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and on small steps that build toward those goals.
Background and approach
Her methods draw on cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered practices. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing informs how she supports people who are unsure or stuck.
In practice she encourages simple exercises you can try between sessions. That might include short mindfulness practices, behavioral experiments, or brief writing exercises to clarify values and next steps. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs.
Jane works with adults in Massachusetts and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She communicates in English and holds an MA and the LMHC credential. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. Online sessions can support learning brief mindfulness exercises and planning doable steps to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful routine.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions Jane can coach behavioral experiments, assign short practice tasks, and review results together to adjust next steps.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person’s goals at the center. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set realistic targets and pace work based on their needs.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jane will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and make a plan that fits the person’s life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and coaching exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing encouragement and brief updates. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep therapy steady around work, caregiving, and daily life.
