About Jana
Jana Grooms, LCPC, LMHC, is a licensed clinician in Florida with 22 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, self esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and related concerns such as ADHD and compassion fatigue. Jana describes her approach as trauma-informed and individualized, using practical strategies to help people manage symptoms and regain control.
In sessions she often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based skills to address thinking patterns and emotional responses. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current struggles. Dialectical behavior ideas are part of her work when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central goals.
Her style is steady and nonjudgmental. She offers direct tools people can try between sessions. Jana emphasizes practical steps - breathing and grounding skills, thought-challenging, and behavior changes - rather than abstract talk alone.
She works with a broad set of issues beyond mood and anxiety, including eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress, trauma-related material, and identity concerns such as gender dysphoria. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, codependency, and family of origin issues.
Jana aims to match methods to the person. She explains techniques plainly and checks in about what is helpful. People who prefer clear exercises and steady guidance may find this style useful.

How Jana’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect current stress. Online sessions use discussion and exercises to notice relationship responses and try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often means short between-session tasks and structured in-session practice to change thinking and routines.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Jana will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. She adjusts plans based on what helps most and explains exercises in plain language so people know what to expect.
Session formats are not specified here; please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, require less travel, and allow focused skill practice between meetings. It can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings that do not require video, depending on the options offered. Licensed professionals, including therapists, use these approaches successfully in remote work while helping clients apply skills to everyday life.
