About Jana

Jana Wilson is an LPCC who uses a client-centered framework to guide compassionate, practical counseling for adults. She blends that collaborative stance with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-informed techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Jana’s practice emphasizes tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions. Her background includes focused work around trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges like ADHD, depression, bipolar tendencies, and addictions.

She also addresses issues such as parenting stresses, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and complex family dynamics including blended family and caregiver-related strain. Jana brings three years of clinical experience as an LPCC licensed in Kentucky and frames therapy as a partnership that balances empathy with actionable strategies.

Clients can expect a warm, interactive style that prioritizes respect and sensitivity while offering skills-based approaches like CBT and DBT when helpful. Jana supports people navigating commitment or control issues, divorce or separation, loneliness, and other emotional burdens, and she adapts methods to meet individual goals and preferences.

Approaches that guide online work and support

Jana frequently draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative environment where the client’s perspectives and goals shape the work; this approach centers on empathy, active listening, and tailoring the process to each person’s needs. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are another tool she employs, helping clients build distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the best approach is a shared endeavor - Jana works with clients to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and circumstances and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps people experiment with different techniques and settle on what supports their daily functioning and long-term change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments. These formats make it possible to access regular support from licensed professionals without geographic travel, and they allow Jana to provide ongoing coaching and skills practice in ways that fit a client’s routine.
