About Jana
Jana Wilson is an LPCC licensed in Kentucky who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She uses a warm, interactive style and aims to help people make day-to-day changes that improve sleep, mood, and relationships. Jana speaks plainly and centers the conversation on what matters to each person.
Her background includes a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Murray State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Missions and Evangelism. She brings three years of post-licensure experience and a broader history of working with adult concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and sleep difficulties. Jana has also worked with people facing parenting stress, relationship strain, and career pressures.
In sessions she tailors the plan to the individual. She draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people build new routines, handle upsetting thoughts, and practice calming skills. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with falling and staying asleep.
Jana often helps people who are dealing with grief, anger, compassion fatigue, or addiction-related worries. She supports those coping with abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and the fallout of separation and divorce. She also addresses intimacy concerns, self-esteem, and money-related stress.
Her manner is respectful and nonjudgmental. Conversations focus on concrete steps and small changes that fit into daily life. People who want straightforward, skills-based help for sleep, anxiety, or life transitions may find her approach useful.
How Jana’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist reflects concerns, offers empathy, and helps people identify goals and steps they want to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It uses practical exercises and simple tasks to change patterns that interfere with sleep, mood, or daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skill-building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness; it can help when intense emotions or relationship stress interfere with rest.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jana collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She may start with listening and straightforward skills, then add behavioral strategies or mindfulness practices based on how things are going.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on rest and routine-building. Many people find virtual meetings make it simpler to practice coping skills between appointments and to try new sleep strategies in real life.
