About Jane
Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. She practices in Wisconsin and uses straightforward, person-focused care to help clients manage life’s hard moments. She meets people where they are and builds a warm, nonjudgmental relationship.
Sessions focus on practical steps - learning skills, trying small changes, and finding ways to get through difficult days.
Background and approach
Jane tailors each plan to the person’s style and goals rather than following one fixed method. Her background includes work in home-based care, residential treatment, and outpatient settings. That variety shaped a flexible approach to different life stages and needs.
She draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and habits that can reduce distress. Jane also uses acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people clarify values, build connection, and tolerate painful emotions without being overwhelmed.
Client-centered methods guide sessions so people feel heard and respected while they try new ways of responding to problems. She often works with issues around relationships, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, addiction, and major life changes. Practical problem solving and steady emotional support are central in her work.
Parents reading this will find clear, calm guidance and a focus on what can change next.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters most to them. It emphasizes small, values-driven actions so someone can move forward even when emotions feel heavy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape emotions and coping, helping people understand and improve connection patterns that affect current struggles.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jane works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools over time so the work stays relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and teaching skills, phone calls can fit a break during a busy day, live chat lets someone check in quickly, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiver schedules and to use the tools in everyday life.
