About Jane
Jane Winston Doman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a calm, direct manner to sessions. Jane helps people facing anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, grief, and life changes.
She also supports those dealing with caregiving stress, aging concerns, and relationship strain. Jane changed careers later in life and completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 1993.
Background and approach
That life experience shaped how she works - practical and understanding rather than overly clinical. She has worked in community mental health and spent much time supporting older adults and adult children caring for a parent. Her style combines Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy with elements of Existential Therapy and the Gottman Method when helpful.
Sessions focus on clear goals, manageable steps, and learning coping skills that fit daily life. She emphasizes collaboration and real-world strategies rather than abstract theory. Typical work includes building breathing and grounding skills for panic, identifying patterns that feed phobias, and developing routines to reduce anxiety and depression.
Jane also helps people process loss, clarify life purpose, and navigate divorce or family-of-origin issues. She aims to make therapy practical and hopeful. People who choose Jane often want straightforward guidance with empathy.
She meets clients where they are and helps them take small, sustainable steps toward their goals. Her background with caregivers and older adult issues informs how she approaches complex family and end-of-life conversations.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and develop their own solutions by building trust and clarity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and address phobias.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices like breathing and body scans. These techniques can reduce reactivity to stress and help with grief, anxiety, and caregiving strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may mix approaches and adjust over time based on what is most helpful.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging work for shorter check-ins, homework support, or when fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to receive consistent care around work, caregiving, or travel.
