Jane Winston Doman, LMFT

Jane Winston Doman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with ten years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 1993 and made a deliberate career change later in life to pursue work in a helping profession, returning to school as an older student and drawing on life experience to inform her clinical work.

She has provided individual therapy for adults, couples counseling, and support for older adults as well as adult children caring for a parent. Her background includes positions in community mental health where she assisted older adults and caregivers managing stress and confronting existential concerns. Building trusting, supportive relationships with clients is a central part of her practice.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes a caring, respectful atmosphere in which clients and therapist collaborate to explore insight, encourage growth, and develop practical coping strategies. She uses an integrated approach that draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, family therapy, and Existential Therapy. Jane holds a California license as an LMFT - CA LMFT 36029 - and welcomes the opportunity to work with adults, couples, and caregivers as they pursue their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jane integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting clients as they identify their own goals and strengths - it is helpful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and panic, and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress, manage overwhelming emotions, and aid coping with grief or caregiver strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself, and Jane collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they explore options, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, support caregivers and older adults who may have mobility constraints, and allow ongoing continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools across these delivery methods to keep the work focused and effective.
