Jana Grooms, LCPC, LMHC

Jana Grooms is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and issues with self-esteem and relationships. She brings 22 years of experience and works to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they’re feeling and breathe a little easier. Jana also supports concerns such as parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is warm and practical. She uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to build trust and understand how past relationships shape current struggles. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior ideas to teach skills for managing strong feelings and changing unhelpful patterns.

Jana has professional credentials as an LCPC and an LMHC and practices in Florida. She frames work collaboratively, helping each person set goals and choose techniques that fit their life. Sessions focus on useful, real-world tools rather than jargon.

People can expect straightforward coping strategies, emotion regulation skills, and attention to how trauma affects thoughts and behavior. Jana emphasizes pacing so people do not feel rushed through difficult material. She aims to help people feel more grounded and able to make practical changes.

If someone wants to begin, Jana asks that they complete the initial matching steps and schedule based on availability. Her work is offered in English and is oriented to adults seeking support for the concerns listed above.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current needs and reactions. In practice this means conversations about trust, boundaries, and patterns that run in relationships, which can help people change how they connect with others. Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection to help people make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often through short exercises and homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jana will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person’s needs. That collaborative decision making helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic rather than one-size-fits-all.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it convenient to use therapy during a break at work, after caregiving duties, or when coordinating care around other commitments.
