About me
Dr. Jane Doe, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor · License #XXXXXXX
My story and why I do this work.
I came to therapy work through my own experiences with anxiety and the transformative effect that good therapy had on my life. That personal history shapes how I show up with clients — with genuine curiosity, real warmth, and the conviction that change is possible.
For over a decade I've worked with adults across a wide range of life circumstances: the high-achieving professional who can't slow down their mind, the person rebuilding after a difficult relationship, the new parent navigating identity shifts, the individual carrying old wounds that keep surfacing. Whatever brings someone through the door, I meet them where they are.
My clinical approach is integrative, meaning I draw from several evidence-based modalities rather than applying one rigid framework. I'm trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based approaches. I tailor what I use to who you are and what you need — your history, your nervous system, your goals.
Outside of practice, I find restoration in long walks, cooking, and time with people I love. I share these details because I don't think a therapist's humanity should be invisible — it's part of what allows genuine connection.
How I work
What you can expect in our work together.
Collaborative
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to bring curiosity, structure, and evidence-based tools — your role is to bring honesty and courage.
Non-judgmental
There is nothing you've thought, felt, or done that will change my regard for you. The therapy room is a space for the full truth of your experience.
Goal-oriented
We'll set clear goals at the outset and revisit them regularly. Therapy should move — if it feels stuck, we talk about it and adjust.
Evidence-based
The approaches I use have robust research support. I stay current through continuing education and supervision, so you benefit from what actually works.
Practical
Insight matters, but so does change. We'll identify skills and experiments you can try between sessions to start building a different way of living.
Culturally aware
Identity, culture, and social context shape mental health in profound ways. I bring awareness of these dimensions into our work and welcome conversations about how they affect you.
Common questions
Things people often ask.
Do you accept insurance?
I am currently an out-of-network provider. I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurance for partial reimbursement, depending on your out-of-network benefits. I recommend calling your insurance to ask about out-of-network mental health coverage before we begin.
How long will therapy take?
It depends on your goals and history. Some clients find meaningful relief in 8–12 sessions; others work with me for a year or more. We'll review progress regularly and you're always free to pause or end our work at any time.
What is telehealth therapy like?
Sessions are conducted over a secure video platform (similar to a video call). Most clients find it just as effective as in-person therapy, with the added benefit of not having to commute. You'll need a private space with a reliable internet connection.
What if I've never been to therapy before?
The first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. Many people feel nervous before their first session — that's completely normal. I'll walk you through what to expect and we'll go at your pace.
