About Jana

Jana Grooms is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting strain, and trauma. She offers straightforward support for relationship and intimacy questions, self-esteem concerns, sleep or eating struggles, and career or life-change stress. Jana is an LCPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with more than 22 years of experience, practicing in Florida.

Her approach is calm, steady, and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a space where a person can speak honestly and feel heard without pressure.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between visits as well as time to process difficult feelings. Jana draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centered methods that follow the person’s priorities, and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts.

For people who have intense emotions, elements of dialectical behavior therapy are available for learning coping and regulation skills. She tailors work to each person’s needs and pace. That can mean short-term problem solving for a specific issue, or longer work on trauma, grief, or addiction-related patterns.

Jana also attends to areas like body image, codependency, abandonment, and family of origin concerns when those come up. Jana provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support

How Jana’s approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify repeating dynamics and build different ways of connecting and responding in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s goals and experience, allowing sessions to follow what matters most in each moment; this approach helps people who need a steady, empathetic space to sort through decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors, and works well for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep or eating issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean mixing methods - for example using CBT tools for immediate symptom relief alongside attachment work for longer-term patterns.

Online therapy offers flexibility that can make it easier to keep momentum. Video calls let people read nonverbal cues and cover deeper material, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused conversation, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers written reflection. These formats help people maintain continuity of care around busy schedules and life demands.
