About Jana

Jana Grooms is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. Jana also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD, and related challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people build skills for managing intense emotions. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she looks at relationships and patterns that keep problems repeating.

Sessions focus on clear goals and teachable tools. Jana will work through what triggers anger or anxiety and help develop strategies to respond differently. She also integrates existential questions about meaning and life direction when those come up.

She draws on long-term experience helping people who feel stuck after trauma, who struggle with self-esteem, or who deal with addictions. That background informs how she structures sessions and follows progress over time.

Practical matters are handled plainly. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. Online sessions can map those patterns and practice new ways to relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers step-by-step tools to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is helpful for anger, anxiety, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are normal as skills are learned and progress is reviewed together.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simple to use worksheets, skill drills, and between-session practice together during appointments.
