Jan Stewart is a Tennessee Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 38 years of professional counseling experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and relationship concerns. He also works with those facing life changes and questions about life purpose.

Jan uses an approach built on connection and listening. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. He aims to be steady and direct while helping people name their concerns and try small changes that make daily life easier.

He also brings psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that show up in relationships and choices.

Jan has worked with many issues across decades of practice, including trauma, addiction, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and midlife transitions. He also offers support around parenting stress, blended family dynamics, and end-of-life concerns. Those looking for help with career doubts, self-esteem, or coping after a loss will find relevant experience.

How his approaches translate to online work

Jan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings and then take actions that align with their values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and when life purpose feels unclear.

Client-Centered Therapy guides his listening style. That means sessions prioritize the person's own concerns and pace rather than imposing a fixed plan. Psychodynamic Therapy is used to look at recurring patterns from earlier life that affect current relationships and choices, which can help with relationship struggles, grief, and midlife questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to use. This is a collaborative process, and approaches can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people use remote sessions to preserve time around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while still getting regular therapeutic support.
