Jana Grooms

Jana Grooms is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship strain. She brings more than 22 years of experience and works with issues that include self-esteem, parenting challenges, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Jana also supports people dealing with identity questions such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related stress, and she addresses attachment and family of origin difficulties.

Her approach is warm and steady. Sessions are meant to feel nonjudgmental so people can speak honestly without pressure. Jana emphasizes practical tools and straightforward conversation over jargon. She aims to help clients feel more grounded and in control of daily life.

Jana blends several therapy methods to suit each person. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns, Client-Centered techniques to follow the client's lead, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and existential perspectives can also be part of the work when they fit the client's goals.

She practices in Florida and holds the LCPC and LMHC credentials as listed. Sessions focus on current struggles and on building skills people can use between meetings. Jana works at a pace chosen by the client, combining practical strategies with attention to past hurts that still affect daily life.

If someone wants to begin, the typical next step is a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session to set goals and plan what comes next.

How Jana's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice repeated relationship habits and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when the work is practical and skills-focused.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jana will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferred pace. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, or reduce the need to travel. Many people find that working with licensed professionals online offers a consistent way to practice skills between meetings and to build momentum toward their goals.
