Jane Rhea

Jane Rhea is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, life purpose, career questions, ADHD, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and work-related compassion fatigue. Jane also highlights support around LGBT issues and coaching for people facing major life changes.

She brings a background in social work and disability studies to her practice. Jane identifies as a self-advocate and activist with long-standing ties to disability communities. That perspective informs how she talks about barriers people face and the social context of mental health challenges.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods and solution-focused strategies to help people outline next steps. Mindfulness practices are used to manage racing thoughts and strong emotions. Motivational interviewing can help when someone is unsure about changing work, routines, or relationships.

Jane describes employment and occupation seeking as a practical place to begin when people feel stuck. She works with issues that often surface during job searches, such as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, ADHD, and questions about identity. Narrative techniques are used to look at the stories people tell themselves about work and purpose.

She notes experience with additional concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, chronic illness and pain, social isolation, financial stress, seasonal affective disorder, and traumatic brain injury. Jane is allied with Queer, Trans, and Non-Binary communities and supports LGBT-related concerns.

How Jane’s approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In practice that means sessions start with the client’s priorities and move at a pace they set. It helps with feeling stuck, career doubts, and uncertainty about next steps.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief skills for noticing thoughts and bodily reactions without judgement. These practices are useful for anxiety, stress, and managing mood shifts in the moment. Motivational Interviewing uses short, focused conversations to clarify what someone wants to change and to build readiness for taking practical steps toward those goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. She checks in about goals, past experiences with therapy, and what feels most useful, and then adjusts the plan as needed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it easier to practice mindfulness or to use narrative exercises in the moment during everyday routines.
