Background and approach

Jane combines body-focused work with talk-based approaches to address both physical reactions and the stories people tell themselves. She helps clients learn skills, notice patterns, and try new responses in everyday life. In therapy she draws on somatic methods to work with how the body holds stress and trauma.

She also uses mindfulness practices to build calm awareness and motivational interviewing techniques to support change. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas inform how she untangles recurring themes and family-of-origin influences. Sessions are collaborative.

Jane works with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs and goals. She teaches practical exercises and offers structured ways to practice outside sessions so progress can continue between meetings. Her office is in North Carolina and she conducts work in English.

People can connect through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging when scheduling online.

How somatic and mindfulness work in online therapy

Somatic Therapy pays attention to how the body holds tension and trauma. Online sessions can guide clients to notice breathing, posture, and sensations, then try gentle movement or grounding techniques to shift physical responses. This approach can help with anxiety, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to stay present and reduce reactivity. In teletherapy this looks like brief guided practices, breath awareness, and short exercises to use during stressful moments. It can be useful for stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. The therapist asks open questions and reflects what matters to the client so motivation grows from the client's own values and goals. This approach often helps with substance use, lifestyle changes, and building new routines.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds, so treatment stays practical and responsive.

Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video lets the therapist and client work closely on body awareness and guided practices. Phone and text can be more convenient for short check-ins and on-the-go support. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into everyday life.
