About Jane
Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship struggles. Jane emphasizes a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach that aims to make sessions feel practical and grounded. She works with issues tied to parenting, intimacy, anger, depression, ADHD, and life transitions, with attention to fatherhood and caregiver stress when relevant.
Jane learned her skills across home-based care, residential treatment, and outpatient settings. That range shaped how she adapts therapy to everyday life. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to create concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
Her style is open and curious. She focuses on building a genuine therapeutic relationship before moving into strategies. Sessions are tailored to a person’s needs and communication style rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
People often seek her help for grief, end-of-life concerns, and forgiveness work. She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, codependency, commitment worries, and blended family challenges. Jane pays attention to attachment issues and how early patterns affect adult relationships.
Her background includes work with aging and geriatric issues, fertility and family transition matters, and compassion fatigue among caregivers. The aim is to help people find manageable ways to cope and make meaningful changes over time.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It often involves short exercises and homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines and together decide which methods to focus on. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing one technique onto every issue.
If you are thinking about online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since session types are set by each therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they happen, such as trying a communication exercise after a difficult conversation.
