About Jana

Jana Grooms is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those navigating relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and challenges related to gender and identity. Jana works with issues that often follow major life changes and compassion fatigue. She practices in Florida and brings 22 years of experience to her work.

Her approach is warm and steady. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly without feeling pressured. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings. Jana emphasizes pacing therapy to match each person’s needs.

Jana uses methods that include attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. She often blends these with existential conversations about meaning and choice. These methods are used to address emotional patterns, unhelpful thoughts, and relationship struggles.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice and work with trauma, addiction, and mood conditions. She holds the Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential and the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential. Many clients find the mix of skills-based tools and reflective conversation helpful for building coping strategies.

If someone is considering therapy, Jana encourages starting with small steps and setting clear, achievable goals. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to try first and how to track progress over time.

How these approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. Online sessions can help people notice recurring patterns and practice new ways of relating to partners or friends. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and teaches clear tools for shifting unhelpful thinking and daily habits.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and how to adjust them as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking so they fit your routine. Many people find virtual sessions help fit care into work breaks, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when life is busy or focused skill practice between longer sessions. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you start the matching process so plans match your needs.
