Jane Meyers, LCSW

Jane Meyers is an LCSW with 23 years of clinical experience based in New York. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting concerns, anger, and bipolar challenges. Jane emphasizes practical, straight talk and guides people toward solutions they can use day to day.

She favors an approach that centers on the individual's own resources and choices. In sessions she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients try different tools to see what fits. Her work draws on several therapy traditions, and she adapts methods to each person's situation rather than following a single script.

Jane trained in social work and holds a Master of Social Work. She has worked in a variety of settings across her career, including behavioral health supervision and services for people with serious mental health needs. That background informs how she plans care and supports practical problem solving.

Sessions typically focus on clear goals, coping skills, and small experiments clients can practice between meetings. Jane aims to make sessions understandable and useful, whether someone needs short-term problem work or deeper exploration over time.

She encourages people to bring honest questions and real-life examples to sessions. The emphasis is on finding what works for the client's life, testing it out, and adjusting as needed.

How Jane Uses Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and can find their own answers. It helps people who need support making decisions and building confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to ease anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. This lets them choose one or more methods to try and adjust as needed in a collaborative way.

The biography notes that telecounseling is part of her practice, but it does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or allowing work-break scheduling. They also let a therapist see how skills are used in daily routines and tailor homework to real situations.
