Jana Pitts, LMFT

Jana Pitts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Jana also focuses on issues often tied to putting others first, such as codependency, feelings of emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

She uses practical talking and problem-solving rather than jargon. Sessions tend to be straightforward conversations that look at what is happening now and what can change. Jana draws on Client-Centered approaches to listen and follow what matters most to each person, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes.

In a first session she will ask about the current problem, typical patterns, and what the person hopes to do differently. From there she and the client set short-term steps to practice between sessions and review how those steps felt. She offers a mix of reflection and direct suggestions aimed at clearer boundaries, steadier mood, and more reliable self-respect.

Her tone in sessions is direct and matter-of-fact. She frames work as a series of small experiments and adjustments. People who struggle to say no or who keep losing themselves in relationships often come for help practicing different ways of acting and thinking.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking and follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
