Jana Pruett, LCSW, CSW

Jana Pruett is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported. Jana works to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken honestly.

She draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions, including acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies. Jana uses simple tools and gentle questioning to help people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and make daily changes that add up over time. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce reactivity and ground attention in the present.

Jana has three years of professional practice as a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia. That clinical experience includes helping people navigate relationship stress, mood shifts, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions as well as the work that happens during them.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are built around the person’s goals and paced to each person's needs. Jana emphasizes small, concrete changes that support a more satisfying life.

If you want to explore getting started, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Jana’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding meaningful ways to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Sessions often include simple exercises, homework between meetings, and regular check-ins to measure progress.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can still use ACT and CBT tools effectively in remote sessions, tailoring techniques to each person's needs and schedule.
