About Jane
Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 39 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strains, codependency, and other life changes.
Her work is straightforward and goal-focused. She uses client-centered methods and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, practical changes. Sessions emphasize the client's strengths and clear steps to move forward rather than long theory discussions.
Jane also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people manage painful thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when clients want help finding what will keep them engaged in change. She blends these methods in whatever way a person finds most useful.
People can expect a respectful, no-nonsense conversation about what matters to them. Jane works with each person to define specific goals and to build everyday skills for coping with difficult feelings, improving communication, and setting boundaries. Progress is tracked with practical tasks between sessions.
Her background includes long-term work with depression, trauma, and addiction-related concerns, and many years helping people handle life transitions and caregiver stress. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect decades of hands-on clinical practice in Massachusetts.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting through concrete exercises. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client leads the topic and the therapist reflects and clarifies to help the client find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is something Jane treats as a collaboration. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is observed.

Licensed professionals can also use video or phone work to focus on skill practice, guided exercises, and brief coaching between longer sessions.
