Jane Meyers

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of social work experience based in New York. She focuses on anger alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, parenting challenges, and bipolar disorder. Jane aims to help people notice their strengths and find answers that fit their lives.

In sessions she uses a straightforward, conversational style. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people try small changes to see what works. Tools she commonly draws on include cognitive-behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally-focused methods, client-centered listening, and existential questions about meaning and values.

Jane trained over many years and has worked in community and clinical settings. Her background includes mobile behavioral health services and work with people who have serious mental illness. She has also worked in geriatrics, residential programs, crisis counseling, and forensic settings.

Her clinical training includes a Master of Social Work from Marywood University and licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York (LCSW). Jane has practiced since 2001 and has maintained private practice work alongside other roles to broaden her experience.

Many clients come to address a single issue like anger or anxiety and leave with clearer ways to manage daily life. Jane emphasizes practical steps, collaborative goal-setting, and adapting strategies to each person's situation. She welcomes working with people who want down-to-earth help and steady progress.

How therapeutic approaches map to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects what is said and follows the client's lead to build clearer self-awareness and personal goals; this can help with anger, relationship strain, and low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include testing small changes and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or alter patterns that feed anger.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can be useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when managing intense reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and help choose or combine methods so therapy fits the person. This is a collaborative process that adjusts over time based on what helps.

For practical matters, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow people to meet from different locations. It can also let sessions focus on skill practice, regular check-ins, or brief midweek support when that suits the person's schedule.
