About Jane
Jane Robbins is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, family problems, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar and ADHD issues, and related challenges including family of origin issues.
She focuses on building a trusting working relationship first. Sessions begin by listening to the person's history and current difficulties. Jane uses that conversation to decide which approaches will be most helpful, rather than imposing a single method. She emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions and checks in on how those feel.
Jane trained with a Bachelor in Psychology and an MSSW and has practiced across settings from community mental health to hospice care. That variety has shaped her comfort with both short-term problem solving and longer, exploratory work. Her background includes work with a broad age range and with complex medical or end-of-life concerns.
In session she may draw from cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment ideas to focus on values and actions. She also uses psychodynamic perspectives when exploring how early family patterns still affect current choices. Dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered listening are available when emotional regulation and stronger support are needed.
People who come to her often want clear steps and also space to talk through family patterns and losses. Jane encourages collaboration on goals and practical plans so progress can be noticed and adjusted as needed.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jane often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes because it focuses on small, value-driven steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal oriented, which can help with depression, anxiety, and problems with sleep or eating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and together with the client decide what to try first. That collaborative planning includes checking what techniques feel manageable and which need adjustment over time.
The original biography does not specify which online formats she offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, turn off video when that helps, or use a phone when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises such as cognitive work, values-based homework, and emotion-regulation skills to remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
