About Jane

Jane Rhea is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who blends client-centered care with practical coaching to help people navigate stress, anxiety, ADHD, and related life changes.

Background and approach

With 11 years of experience, she draws on social work training and an interdisciplinary orientation grounded in disability studies to shape collaborative goals and strategies. Her background in advocacy informs a respectful, strengths-based approach that centers each person’s lived experience.

Rhea’s practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and career or financial challenges. She also works with issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain and illness, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety and phobia, seasonal affective disorder, and traumatic brain injury.

Sessions focus on building practical skills, clarifying values, and identifying concrete steps toward meaningful change while honoring individual identity and context.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy places the client’s priorities and values at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboratively set goals; it helps with motivation, life changes, and building coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support stress, anxiety, and mood regulation. Motivational interviewing concentrates on exploring a person’s own reasons for change and strengthening commitment, which can be especially useful for career shifts, habit changes, or managing health-related goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will unfold in conversation. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work progresses.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and access care from different locations. These formats support flexibility in scheduling, allow for short check-ins or longer sessions, and can help people maintain continuity of care while working on practical skills and goals with a licensed professional.
