About Jana
Jana Grooms is a licensed counselor and mental health clinician based in Florida. She brings 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma, and ADHD. Her manner is warm and steady, and she aims to create a space where people can speak honestly without feeling judged.
Jana uses practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral work and skills-based approaches. She listens for what feels most helpful and adapts sessions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on clear tools, coping skills, and small changes that add up over time. Her background includes long-term clinical experience across a range of concerns such as relationship strain, grief, self-esteem, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. She also works with people dealing with sleep or eating struggles, anger, career stress, and life transitions.
Jana pays attention to how past attachment and family patterns affect present-day choices. Sessions are collaborative. She offers mindfulness exercises, behavioral strategies, and goal-focused planning so clients can try different ways of responding to difficult feelings.
When trauma is present, she approaches it with care and pacing that fits the person’s readiness. Jana communicates plainly and keeps sessions focused on what will help between appointments. She supports people exploring recovery from addictive behaviors as well as those coping with complex emotional histories.
Her goal is steady progress, not perfection.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports building healthier ways of connecting.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance from the therapist. It gives people time to reflect, name their goals, and shape the pace of work based on what feels most useful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete techniques for shifting unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Choosing an approach is a team effort between the person and the therapist. Jana will talk about different methods, try what seems promising, and adjust based on progress and preference. The process is collaborative so the work fits real life and real goals.
Online sessions can fit into busy schedules and make regular contact easier. Video calls allow visual connection for skill work and in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick support, brief updates, or practicing skills between longer sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on consistent, practical progress.
