About Jane
Jane Meyers is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 23 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and issues with sleep, eating, or addiction. She draws on practical tools and a calm, steady presence to guide people toward clearer choices and more manageable days.
Jane emphasizes body-based awareness alongside talk therapy. She uses somatic practices to help people notice physical signals tied to emotions.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. Her work includes cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She incorporates emotion-focused and dialectical strategies when feelings are intense or relationships are central to the concern.
Sessions blend noticing bodily responses, gentle reflection, and skill-building exercises. Jane trained for her Master of Social Work at Marywood University and holds an LCSW license in New York. She has worked in community and clinical settings since 2001, including roles supporting people with serious mental illness and supervising behavioral health teams.
That background informs a range of approaches and practical problem solving. Telehealth is a regular part of her practice to increase access. People meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on their needs.
Jane aims to create straightforward plans and teach skills people can use between sessions.
How somatic and skills-based approaches work online
Somatic work focuses on connecting body sensations with emotions. Online sessions include guided attention to breathing, movement, and tension so people can notice what their body is telling them and respond differently. This can help with anxiety, stress, trauma aftereffects, and chronic tension.Client-centered therapy puts the person's goals front and center. The therapist reflects, listens, and follows the client's lead so sessions feel aligned with what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adds practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns through experiments and practice. Together these approaches mix awareness, validation, and concrete skills for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and pace. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions and adjust techniques over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and to practice skills between meetings. They also let people continue care from different locations and choose the method that feels most comfortable.
