About Jana
Jana Dobesova is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 12 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and family issues. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Jana uses straightforward conversation and practical tools. She pays attention to how early family patterns and attachment shape current choices and relationships. Sessions often include talk therapy alongside focused exercises to practice between meetings.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose workable actions. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at family-of-origin patterns and how they influence closeness, roles, and expectations in adult life.
Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy inform how she listens and helps clarify goals. These methods are used to build motivation for change and to focus on what matters most to the client right now.
Jana has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, substance issues, body image, and related challenges. She works in English and practices in Tennessee. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and practical details through the platform's scheduling tools.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jana will review what you want to change and what feels achievable, then collaborate to try methods that fit your goals and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and attachment-informed work so sessions address both current behavior and family-of-origin patterns.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since current options are listed in the platform scheduling tools. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different formats can also help when bandwidth or camera use is limited, so discuss practical needs when you schedule to find what works best.
