Jana Grooms

Jana Grooms is a licensed clinician who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and anger. She brings 22 years of experience and aims to make sessions feel calm and steady. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental so clients can speak honestly about what’s hard. Jana supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, career shifts, sleep or eating problems, and identity concerns such as LGBT and gender dysphoria.

Jana uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses. She often draws on attachment-focused work to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. Dialectical skills are used when people need help tolerating strong emotions and reducing impulsive behaviors. Sessions emphasize doable steps, and she adjusts pace to match each person’s comfort level.

Her training and long experience shape a trauma-informed way of working. That means she pays attention to how past hurts affect present life and aims to reduce reactivity over time. She frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than giving one-size-fits-all answers.

Jana holds the LCPC and the LMHC credentials and practices in Florida. She conducts sessions in English and does not work with international clients. People typically start by indicating their needs and scheduling an initial appointment through the site’s Start Therapy flow.

She emphasizes measurable coping skills, clearer communication, and steps to rebuild daily routines. The focus is on small, steady changes that add up to feeling more in control and less overwhelmed.

How Jana's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and trust. Online sessions using this lens help people notice patterns in relationships and try different ways of connecting and responding to stress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client’s agenda. In remote sessions this looks like a steady, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist reflects what she hears and helps clarify goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often involves short between-session tasks, thought records, and practicing new behaviors between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jana works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts tools so the work stays useful and manageable.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can fit into busy lives more easily. Many people find it simpler to keep a weekly routine, fit sessions around work or parenting, and use brief check-ins when full sessions aren’t possible. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the original biography does not list specific delivery options.
