About Jane
Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger, depression, attention difficulties, and coping with life changes.
She has provided therapy in homes, residential treatment settings, and outpatient clinics. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps people can try between meetings. Jane draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and mindfulness-influenced methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and adjust responses.
Her approach is straightforward and nonjudgmental. She spends time understanding each person’s situation and priorities before suggesting specific strategies. Therapy conversations often include problem-solving, behavioral experiments, and attention to how relationships and attachment patterns affect current difficulties.
Jane also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques are used when values-based action helps a person move forward despite difficult feelings.
People who have worked with her note she adapts practical techniques across ages and life stages. She helps with issues that come from caregiving stress, chronic illness, blended family dynamics, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and endings such as divorce and bereavement. Her emphasis is on clear, usable steps that fit everyday life.
How her CBT and related approaches work online
Jane uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and habits that make problems worse and then try new, concrete behaviors to test what changes. CBT sessions focus on skills you can practice between meetings, like thought records and graded behavioral steps.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and to support action even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how past relationship patterns shape current conflicts and closeness issues; this can help with intimacy and communication concerns.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The process emphasizes clear goals, brief experiments, and measurable steps rather than vague talk.
