About Jana
Jana Grooms is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Florida and names stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship concerns among the issues she addresses. She also lists codependency and related intimacy and attachment concerns as part of her work.
Jana keeps language simple in sessions. She listens for how patterns show up in daily life - like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or staying in relationships that drain energy. She offers practical tools alongside conversations about feelings. Sessions focus on small, reachable steps and clearer choices rather than long lectures or jargon.
Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, and grief. Jana uses several approaches to match the moment, including attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and dialectical behavior approaches. She also draws on existential thinking when questions about meaning and purpose come up.
In practice she blends talking with skill-building. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing boundary-setting language, or learning emotion regulation skills. She describes a steady, nonjudgmental stance and favors methods that help people manage overwhelming memories or strong emotions.
Sessions are offered in English and operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, a short questionnaire is used to match needs before scheduling a first session. Those steps help clarify immediate goals and practical next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using attachment ideas help people notice repeating patterns with partners and family and practice different responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behavior - sessions use simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new actions that change feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful when intense emotions or urges feel overwhelming.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to identify what's most helpful for their goals and day-to-day challenges. That may mean starting with stabilization and skills, then moving to deeper trauma work if needed. Adjustments happen as progress and goals become clearer.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, use less travel time, and allow focused check-ins on a break. Different formats can also help with camera fatigue or bandwidth limits by offering shorter check-ins or audio-only options if available. Ask about formats when you book so sessions match your practical needs and preferences.
