About Jana
Jana Wilson is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with three years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to parenting, sleep, and self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Jana blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to address everyday problems. In sessions she helps people talk through what is worrying them, notice patterns of thinking and behavior, and practice skills for managing strong emotions. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with concentration and calming.
Her background includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Murray State University and prior study at Mid-Continent University. She has experience working with adults on depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, career stress, and challenges after relationship changes. Jana has supported people who have experienced physical or emotional trauma.
Work in the room is interactive and goal-focused. She helps clients set clear, achievable steps and practices between sessions. For many people this looks like short behavioral experiments, thought-tracking exercises, and learning coping skills.
Jana is familiar with issues around family conflict, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, and problems tied to money or midlife transitions. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, guilt and shame, jealousy, and forgiveness when they come up in therapy.
How Jana uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Jana commonly draws on client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s perspective. This approach means sessions center on the client’s concerns, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help people make sense of their experience.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for worry, anxiety, sleep problems, and changing patterns that maintain distress.
Dialectical behavior therapy techniques appear in her work as skills training for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These tools help when anger, intense emotions, or relationship conflicts feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jana will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting people choose whether they use video or another format when that option is offered. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice skills between meetings and to apply new habits in everyday settings.
