About Jana

Jana Grooms is a licensed psychotherapist with more than two decades of experience supporting people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a calm, steady presence to sessions and emphasizes a trauma-informed, individualized approach that meets each person where they are. Jana holds LCPC and LMHC credentials, licensed in Illinois and Florida, and draws on a range of clinical methods to help clients develop practical coping strategies and emotional regulation skills.

Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, creating a therapeutic space where honest reflection is welcome and progress can unfold at a comfortable pace. Jana commonly integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-informed perspectives, dialectical strategies, and client-centered practices to address symptoms and patterns that interfere with daily life.

She also incorporates mindfulness and mind-body tools when appropriate to support stress reduction and improved self-awareness. Jana’s work aims to blend insight and hands-on skill building so clients can gain relief from persistent distress and move toward meaningful change.

She offers services to people in Florida through a mix of remote session formats and frames therapy as a collaborative process guided by each client’s goals and readiness.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Jana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and reducing symptoms like anxiety and depression. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for addressing relationship challenges and intimacy concerns. In sessions she may combine these approaches with mindful practices and skills from dialectical methods when clients need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt methods accordingly rather than applying a single fixed model. This flexible stance helps clients try different techniques and settle on what produces meaningful progress for them.

Online therapy with Jana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing options for convenience and continuity of care. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain regular contact, and use skills in real time between sessions while working toward steady improvement.
