Remote sessions with structured and trauma-focused care
Jana offers remote work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to support ongoing therapy from a distance. These options allow for regular contact and flexible formats so people can choose what works best for their schedules and communication preferences.
She integrates Accelerated Resolution Therapy to address distressing memories and emotional triggers, offering a targeted method for processing trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and mindfulness practices provide strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and present-moment awareness. Each approach is described and adapted collaboratively so that the person and therapist can select tools that fit the individual’s goals and style.
Remote sessions are structured to balance skills practice, emotional processing, and reflective work. Jana works with individuals to set goals, choose the mix of approaches that feels most helpful, and adjust pacing over time to match need and readiness.
