About Jane
Jane Williams is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 39 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions, ADHD, and related challenges.
She uses a practical, problem-focused approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered methods, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, practicing different responses, and building small skills that make daily life easier.
In session she listens to what a person is trying to change and helps set clear, achievable goals. She breaks larger problems into smaller steps and experiments with new behaviors between meetings. Work often includes simple behavioral exercises, thought records, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve routines.
Her style is direct and task-oriented. Conversations move between understanding what went wrong and trying specific techniques to shift patterns. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted based on what works.
Clients can expect straightforward guidance on coping strategies, communication, and practical problem solving. Jane draws on many decades of experience to recommend concrete actions and to help people put those actions into practice.
How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online
CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns. In plain terms this means tracking reactions, testing different responses, and practicing skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve routines.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It usually uses mindfulness exercises and values-based goal setting to help people move forward despite discomfort.
Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person’s perspective and uses reflective listening to clarify goals. This approach supports collaborative planning and steady progress toward clear targets.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands, then recommend methods to try. Decisions are made together and adjusted based on what helps.

Talk with the therapist about how sessions can fit around work, caregiving, and other routines.
