About Jane

Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts who brings 39 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar, ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career or life transitions. Her background also includes work with areas such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and eating issues, and co-morbidity challenges.

Her therapeutic style is collaborative and strengths oriented, centering the client as the expert in their own life. She integrates client-centered principles with solution-focused techniques and draws heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build practical coping strategies.

Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based methods are also part of her toolkit and inform a compassionate, goal-driven process. Clients can expect an approach that aims to be genuine, respectful, and encouraging while helping to clarify goals and develop realistic plans for change.

Jane values straightforward work that leverages individual strengths and supports measurable progress over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Jane employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and many stress-related problems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values, developing psychological flexibility, and learning to live with difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful goals. Mindfulness-informed work informs both approaches by bringing attention to present-moment experience and reducing automatic reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and challenges and tailor methods accordingly, combining CBT, ACT, and mindfulness practices as needed to fit what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care around work and family demands or when in-person visits are difficult. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations and to pick formats that match their communication style and daily schedule.
