About Jane
Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of practice in Wisconsin. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental approach and takes time to learn what matters most to each person. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer steps forward when life feels overwhelming.
She combines several well-known therapies to match a person's needs. That can mean using acceptance and commitment ideas to notice difficult thoughts, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful patterns, or attachment-informed work to understand important relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on useful skills, clearer communication, and realistic goals that fit daily life. Jane has worked in homes, residential treatment, and outpatient settings, so she is comfortable helping people navigate grief, loss, aging concerns, and relationship strain. Parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, addiction, and coping with life changes are common topics she addresses.
She also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, fertility challenges, and other family-related strains. Her background includes work with people across life stages, and she adapts techniques to each person's situation. She emphasizes building a genuine connection so therapy feels collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Progress often includes new coping options, clearer boundaries, and improved day-to-day functioning. Jane holds a Wisconsin LCSW credential, practices in English, and offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules. She frames therapy as a tailored process that meets people where they are and helps them move toward practical change.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting frustrations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to change patterns that get in the way of daily life. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy, trust, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the plan remains practical and relevant.
Online therapy with this clinician can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit routines and comfort levels. Video lets people work face to face when they want that connection. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing parenting and other responsibilities.
