About Jana

Jana Wilson is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed in Kentucky with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, anger, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Jana also supports people facing addiction, sleep problems, career stress, ADHD, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.

Her background includes a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Murray State University. Jana uses straightforward talk therapy and goal-focused work to help people manage upsetting reactions and daily pressure. She draws on Client-Centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her.

Jana blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas with skills-based Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices. That combination helps people notice patterns, change unhelpful thinking, and try new ways of responding when anger or anxiety flare. She also uses motivational interviewing techniques to support readiness for change.

In sessions she works through concrete skills and small experiments people can use between meetings. This includes practical ways to handle sharp reactions, reduce tension at work, or steady difficult conversations at home. She also assists with grief processing and coping after trauma.

Jana aims to keep sessions direct and interactive. She helps clients set clear goals, track progress, and adjust plans when something isn’t working. For anyone wanting to learn steadier ways to manage anger, stress, or intense moods, she offers structured therapy that focuses on skills and real-life practice.

How sessions work

How Jana’s approaches work in online sessions

Jana uses Client-Centered Therapy to base sessions on what matters most to the person. That approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s concerns while supporting their own priorities and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thinking patterns that feed anger and anxiety. CBT helps people test those thoughts, try alternative responses, and practice new behaviors between sessions to reduce reactivity.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are useful when anger builds up or when intense feelings interfere with work and relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jana collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps the client make steady changes.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not specify formats. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about the session options available so you can choose what fits your schedule and daily routine.
