Jane Ronec, AASW

Jane Ronec is an Australian therapist credentialed with the AASW (Australian Association of Social Workers) and brings nine years of professional experience to her practice. She has developed focused expertise supporting people affected by family violence and in addressing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and depression. Her work also extends to helping clients navigate significant life changes, workplace concerns, and family issues.

Jane approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding that each person is the expert of their own story and that those strengths can be mobilized to meet difficult challenges. She emphasizes practical, compassionate support and works alongside clients to identify goals and steps toward greater wellbeing. Seeking change takes courage, and Jane aims to empower people through that process by offering steady guidance and collaborative care.

Throughout her practice she attends to a wide range of emotional and relational concerns, helping clients build coping strategies, clarify values, and restore a sense of direction. Her background and AASW credential reflect a commitment to professional standards in Australia and to supporting people through both acute crises and ongoing life transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jane Ronec draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and the therapeutic relationship, giving clients space to explore their experience while the therapist offers acceptance and support. CBT addresses the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and other challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jane works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from these approaches as appropriate, continually checking in with clients to adapt the plan.

Online therapy with Jane is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, access therapy from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful.
