Jane Robbins, LCSW

Jane Robbins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of clinical experience. She combines a broad educational background - a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and a Master of Social Work from the University of Tennessee - with sustained practice across settings and age groups. Early work in Memphis, Tennessee laid the foundation for a career that has included helping children, adolescents, adults, and older adults through a wide range of concerns, from sexual assault and trauma to chronic mental illness, hospice care, depression, anxiety, and grief.

Her practice emphasizes building a strong, trusting rapport as the first step toward meaningful change. Jane describes her approach as individualized and collaborative - she adapts interventions to fit each person rather than asking clients to fit a single method. She draws on evidence-based strategies and a warm, guiding stance to help clients discover solutions, regain control during life transitions, and develop practical coping skills for stress, relationships, addictions, sleep and eating issues, parenting challenges, career concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Jane believes clients are the experts on their own lives and focuses on supporting them to implement changes that lead to greater satisfaction and resilience. She offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and is available to work with international clients who seek a collaborative, experienced social work perspective.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed actions aligned with what matters to them, while teaching skills to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions where acceptance and purposeful action are central.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and reflects the client’s experience. This approach supports healing across many concerns by fostering self-understanding, confidence, and the client’s own capacity to find solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for mood disorders, anxiety, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with stress. Sessions tend to be structured and skills-focused to produce tangible improvements.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jane will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so therapy remains responsive and effective.

Online therapy with a licensed professional adds flexibility and accessibility - meetings can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varying schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, caregiving, or mobility needs.
