More about Jan

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello, My name is Jan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been licensed for over 25 years. After my children were in school fulltime, I decided to get a job. I was I had a degree in teaching but felt that I wanted to teach special education. To do that I went back to school and got a masters in learning disabilities. I loved the job and loved the children but felt that I was missing some information. Many of the children that I taught also had emotional concerns. it was not uncommon for them to struggle in school for several years before they were diagnosed. That often left them with a very low sense of themselves. I wanted to help. I went back to school and got a masters degree in counseling. I loved it so much that I stayed and also got a specialists degree in counseling. All of that led me to leaving teaching and taking a job as a school counselor. I was so fortunate to stay in the school system. In addition to that job, I saw some private clients over the years. Once I retired from the school system , I built my private practice. It has been a few years since I have seen clients but find that I really miss it. This is a perfect solution.

I am pretty easy to get to know. Spending time with someone and helping them find ways to be more comfortable in their lives is such a great adventure. showing people strengths that they didn't even know they had is so satisfying for everyone. If I am your counselor or not, I wish you well on your journey!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jan dispelled any hesitancy I had around online counselling. She is precisely the kind of therapist I’ve been looking for—considerate, knowledgeable, firm, and experienced. I am getting exactly what I needed from our sessions and can’t wait to continue working with her.

I have had two sessions with Jan and already it feels like talking to an old friend who knows and understands me. Jan is insightful and a wonderful listener which go well with her ability to make connections in my responses to her questions and the things I am not saying. I have been in therapy before and was hesitant about the platform and how it might all work not being in person. I would have never found Jan if I had gone through the traditional methods of searching for a therapist in my area as she lives on the east coast and I'm on the west. I'm so thankful I have found her and look forward to all of the sessions to come under her care.
