About Jane
Jane Ronec is an AASW social worker with nine years of professional experience based in Australia. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship and family concerns. Jane also supports those coping with major life changes and workplace issues.
Jane uses practical, structured approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ideas to make sessions focused and understandable. Sessions aim to identify small, doable changes rather than rely on abstract explanations.
People meet Jane to work on sleep troubles, anger, parenting stress, compassion fatigue and problems with focus or impulsivity such as ADHD. She also addresses grief, addiction-related concerns, intimacy and body image worries in step-by-step ways. Conversations include looking at patterns, testing alternatives and building simple routines.
Her work includes supporting people through separation, attachment and abandonment issues, money and career stresses, and finding direction during midlife. Jane uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and emotionally-focused therapy where those tools fit the problem being worked on.
She describes clients as the experts in their own story and takes a practical stance in sessions. People are asked to try small experiments between meetings and to track what helps. Booking starts via an online matching process and a first session is scheduled after a short intake questionnaire.
How Jane uses structured therapies in online sessions
Jane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to see what helps. ACT works with values and practical actions so people can move toward what matters even when difficult feelings are present.She also brings client-centred principles to sessions, which means conversations aim to follow the person’s priorities and practical goals. Figuring out which approach to use is part of the process and happens collaboratively. The therapist and client discuss goals, try an approach, and adjust methods based on what best meets the person’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as session options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to try different practical tools between meetings and review how they worked in the next session.
