Jane Meyers , LCSW

Jane Meyers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York who brings 23 years of experience to her work supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, and a wide range of life-stage and behavioral concerns. She emphasizes helping individuals uncover their own strengths and solutions, pairing a collaborative, client-centered stance with practical tools drawn from cognitive and dialectical approaches, psychoanalytic ideas, systems thinking, holistic methods, biofeedback, and other modalities she has trained in over the years.

Her career spans work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, and includes experience in forensic, geriatric, residential, crisis counseling, and intensive services for people with serious mental illness. She currently serves as a behavioral health supervisor overseeing mobile services for individuals with significant psychiatric needs and has been practicing social work since 2001. Her academic path includes an associate degree from a community college, a bachelor’s degree completed through an online state university program, and a Master of Social Work from Marywood University.

Jane has maintained a private practice to broaden her clinical experience and has long supported the expansion of telecounseling to reach people who might otherwise face barriers to care. She values ongoing learning and approaches each therapeutic relationship with respect, curiosity, and a focus on practical change.

Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Jane integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and helping people identify their own goals so they feel supported in making meaningful changes; this approach is often helpful for issues of self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, an approach commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping with trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jane works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts or combines techniques so the plan fits each person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, focused care and make it easier for people to engage in therapy in ways that fit their daily lives.
