Jacob Pizana, LPC

Jacob Pizana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a U.S. Navy veteran with nine years of experience supporting people through trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. He combines practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a compassionate, person-centered approach that honors each client’s unique story and goals.

Jacob emphasizes open communication and mutual respect, creating a space where clients can share difficult experiences and work toward emotional balance. He helps individuals process post-traumatic stress, navigate relationship and communication problems, and manage symptoms of panic, mood disorders, and social anxiety. His approach includes collaborative goal-setting and a mix of supportive listening, gentle challenge, and skills-based work tailored to each person’s needs.

When clients begin work with Jacob, he starts with a plan that invites them to describe their concerns and hopes for therapy. From there he adjusts interventions over time, offering steady support while encouraging growth and increased self-understanding. He works with English- and Spanish-speaking adults, including those facing divorce, impulsivity, veteran and armed forces issues, and young adult transitions, always aiming to help clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward their goals.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Jacob Pizana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process difficult experiences and reduce the ongoing impact of post-traumatic stress. This approach draws on careful pacing, stabilization, and guided reflection to support recovery after trauma.

He also employs skills-based interventions designed to manage anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress. These techniques teach practical tools for emotion regulation, coping with panic or social anxiety, and improving communication in relationships, helping clients build day-to-day strategies that support functioning and wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacob works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan over time so the therapy fits each person’s situation and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from home. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, focused treatment while offering convenience and continuity of care.
