About Jana
Jana Pitts is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and big life changes.
She focuses on practical steps people can try right away. Sessions often include noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new ways of responding, and tracking small changes over time. Jana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to guide that work without making it overly technical.
People come to her for related concerns such as codependency, feelings of emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. She also supports people questioning life purpose and those trying to build more self-love or manage social anxiety and phobia. Her approach mixes straightforward techniques with regular check-ins on progress.
In sessions Jana listens and offers clear next steps. She helps set concrete goals and breaks them into manageable tasks. She also encourages reflection on patterns that keep problems repeating, and she helps people practice different responses in daily life.
Her background includes substantial clinical experience in behavioral health. That experience shapes how she structures sessions and follows up on change. To begin, clients select the See online therapy options button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Jana combines CBT and client-centered work for online sessions
Jana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts - thoughts, actions, and results - so people can try small experiments and see what changes. This approach is often useful for anxiety, stress, and social fears.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person is experiencing. That method helps people clarify their own goals and decide which practical steps feel manageable. Together, these approaches aim to balance clear skills work with personal priorities.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work in early sessions. Jana will collaborate with each person to identify goals and pick techniques that fit their needs and preferences. She checks progress and adjusts the plan as needed rather than assuming one method suits every problem.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins on stressful days, or remove the need to travel. Licensed professionals can use that flexibility to keep momentum between sessions and support steady practice of CBT skills.
