Jane Meyers, LCSW

Jane Meyers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-R) from Upstate New York who brings practical experience and a collaborative style to therapeutic work. She believes people are inherently resilient and often helps clients reconnect with their own strengths and answers. Over more than two decades in practice, she has trained in a wide range of methods and integrates tools from Dialectical and Cognitive approaches, psychoanalytic and systems perspectives, holistic techniques, and biofeedback to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

She has worked across many settings and populations, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, forensic and residential environments, geriatric care, crisis counseling, and services for the severely mentally ill. In her current role she serves as a behavioral health supervisor providing mobile services to people with serious mental illness, and she has maintained private practice work to broaden her experience with different modalities and client groups.

Jane has been a social worker since 2001. Her academic path began with an associate degree from a local community college, followed by a bachelor’s degree completed through an online state university program, and a Master of Social Work from Marywood University. She is comfortable working with a wide range of concerns - including stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, depression, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and sleeping or eating - and she offers telecounseling to reach people who might not otherwise access therapy. She is 48 years old and has three adult children, and she approaches each client relationship as an opportunity for mutual learning and growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Jane uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and discover their own goals and solutions; this approach helps with issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical method often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulse-related concerns.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Jane works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as the work progresses so that therapy remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy enables the same therapeutic approaches to be delivered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make scheduling more flexible, support access for people in different locations including international clients, and help maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. The focus remains on effective, compassionate work tailored to the individual, regardless of the format.
