About Jana
Jana Grooms is an LCPC and an LMHC licensed in Illinois and Florida with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, grief, career shifts, and eating or sleeping problems.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when people want tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early family patterns still shape current relationships.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps. Jana helps people identify repeating family roles and patterns that cause stress now. She talks through communication habits, boundaries, and responses to conflict so people can try different choices in daily life. Mindfulness and some DBT skills are used when people need ways to manage intense emotions in the moment.
Her background includes many years supporting people with trauma, addiction concerns, and mood disorders. She blends practical skills with space to talk about difficult memories and relationship dynamics. Her work often addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment problems, codependency, and guilt or shame.
People who want a straightforward, skills-focused therapy for problems that trace back to childhood patterns may find this approach useful. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to make sure they fit your needs.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Attachment-Based work looks at how early family relationships shaped current patterns. It helps people notice roles they learned and try new ways of relating in adult relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete exercises and practice to test unhelpful beliefs and change behaviors that keep problems running.Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skills with attachment-focused conversations and some DBT techniques for emotion regulation.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel. They also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options when less visual connection is preferred. Check current options to pick the setup that best fits your schedule and day-to-day life.
