Jane Ronec

Jane Ronec is an AASW counsellor who helps people manage strong emotions and life stress. She works with adults facing anxiety, anger, loss, trauma and depression. She aims to make the first step feel doable and respectful of each person’s story.

She believes clients are the experts on their lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. The tone is supportive and direct, with attention to what matters most to the client in everyday life.

Jane uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches to match different problems. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice thoughts without being driven by them. Cognitive and behavioural strategies are used to spot unhelpful patterns and test new ways of responding.

For people who struggle with intense emotions, elements of dialectical behaviour therapy help build skills for regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-focused approaches guide conversations about attachment and closeness when relationships or intimacy are affected.

Over nine years of professional experience, Jane has worked with people on grief, addictions, career strain, parenting stress, ADHD and mood disorders. She also supports those experiencing compassion fatigue, overwhelm and midlife transitions. Her approach is practical, collaborative and paced to fit what each person can manage right now.

How therapy approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. Online work with ACT often focuses on clarifying values and practising small value-driven actions between sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. In online sessions this commonly involves worksheet-style exercises, behavioural experiments and action plans to use during the week.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest what might fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses so methods suit how you prefer to work and what makes sense for your situation.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and other commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins, follow-up conversations between full sessions and skill practice that ties directly into daily life without needing extra travel.
