About Jane

Jane Meyers is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing for 23 years in New York. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating problems, and anger. She also notes experience with bipolar concerns and a wide range of related issues.

Meyers uses a practical, person-focused approach that aims to help people find their own answers. She draws from several clinical models in sessions, and tends to blend straightforward skills work with conversation about meaning and life stages. Sessions often include concrete strategies for managing overwhelming feelings, improving communication, and changing unhelpful patterns.

Her background includes long experience in social work across diverse settings. She has worked with residential programs, crisis counseling, geriatric care, forensic settings, and community-based services. She currently supervises behavioral health work that provides mobile services to people with serious mental illness, and she also maintains private practice work alongside that role.

Meyers completed a Master of Social Work at Marywood University after finishing a bachelor’s via an online state university and an associate degree from a community college. She has practiced since 2001 and frames clinical work around practical tools people can use between sessions.

In talks with clients she may use elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered work, and existential ideas. Her emphasis is on helping people build skills, recognize patterns, and take manageable steps toward steadier emotional responses.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own problem-solving. Online sessions using this approach let people talk through frustrations and identify changes that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes skills and experiments to change thinking and behavior. In remote sessions CBT often means setting clear goals, practicing techniques between meetings, and reviewing progress together. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Delivered online, DBT tools can be taught, practiced, and tracked across weeks to reduce reactive responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend starting methods. That collaborative decision may shift as progress is observed and needs change.

The biography notes a positive view of telecounseling but does not list specific session formats here. Please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier by fitting sessions into a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional in New York from other locations, including international arrangements when appropriate.
