More about Jan
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LISW
I am currently a licensed Social Worker (LISW) in the state of Iowa. I have been working as a therapist for the past 10 years. Prior experience includes 25 years working in Child and Family Welfare. In addition to my role seeing people for therapy, I serve in a clinical supervisor/administrator role in a community mental health center. I also train Mental Health First Aid on a local level and Youth Mental Health First Aid on a national level.
As a therapist/social worker, I believe that we all function within multiple systems such as family, work, community etc. My approach strives to achieve mental wellness through growth in strengths and confidence in new skills to manage multiple stressors impacting our lives. I often use strategies such as Solution Focused, Strength Based, Motivational Interviewing, CBT and EMDR.
My husband and were foster parents and adopted 3 children who are now adults. I feel these experiences have been valuable for others needing support with foster and adoption issues and concerns.
Patients describe me as positive, calm, solution focused and direct.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
