More about me

Licensing: Ed.S., LPC Years in Practice: 25 State: Georgia

Hello, My name is Jan and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been licensed for over 25 years. After my children were in school fulltime, I decided to get a job. I was I had a degree in teaching but felt that I wanted to teach special education. To do that I went back to school and got a masters in learning disabilities. I loved the job and loved the children but felt that I was missing some information. Many of the children that I taught also had emotional concerns. it was not uncommon for them to struggle in school for several years before they were diagnosed. That often left them with a very low sense of themselves. I wanted to help. I went back to school and got a masters degree in counseling. I loved it so much that I stayed and also got a specialists degree in counseling. All of that led me to leaving teaching and taking a job as a school counselor. I was so fortunate to stay in the school system. In addition to that job, I saw some private clients over the years. Once I retired from the school system , I built my private practice. It has been a few years since I have seen clients but find that I really miss it. This is a perfect solution.

I am pretty easy to get to know. Spending time with someone and helping them find ways to be more comfortable in their lives is such a great adventure. showing people strengths that they didn't even know they had is so satisfying for everyone. If I am your counselor or not, I wish you well on your journey!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is the absolute best. After several failed attempts in therapy, it’s nice to have found someone as great as her.

Amazing!

Jan is an excellent therapist and has helped me greatly. I highly recommend her.

Jan has a lot of experience in the area I need help. We are a good match on the first session.

Jan has been extremely supportive and understanding. She has helped me through a very difficult period in my life and I always feel in a better place after talking to her. I highly recommend her!

Jan is a very pleasant and she is very thoughtful in the way she asks her questions and I felt very understood and she helped me through a though breakup with a wonderful woman I was with for almost 4 years. I would highly recommend Jan :)

Jan was very helpful and gave me the validation I needed. She has a lot of experience and gave me some great advice. I am so grateful to her for giving me hope when I was feeling very discouraged about my situation. Thank you Jan!

Very professional.

Jan provides extremely helpful tools and "homework" to move into better mental health. Shares from herself even. Very cathardic

Just within a few sessions, Jan Waring has helped me weather my storm with a few tools I can use in my everyday life. Thank you for your help and I appreciate your time spent with me.

Jan has been a great help for body and mind.

Very insightful, very helpful, good listener, great observer, companionate, everything I wanted in a therapist.

Jan Waring has been nothing short of amazing!! She helped me at my hardest times & always made sure I was comfortable. I’m so grateful to have met her. She is professional, kind, truly cares, and has been an inspiration to me. If you’re seeking help, Jan is who I will always recommend.

Jan has helped me so much over the course of this last year. I’ve learned and grown so much and I couldn’t be more thankful for all that she’s done for me. She’s so honest and helpful and easy to talk to! I’ve really enjoyed my time working with her. She’s helped me through really hard times in my life that I’ll never forget.

Jan has been so helpful and always gives me great insight and advice! I always look forward to talking to her!

Jan “got” my issues very quickly and suggested concrete actions I could take. She is easy to engage and very helpful.

Great experience

Jan understands just what I need to work on and suggests helpful way to address issues. She reminds me of the progress I’ve made as well as identifying areas to focus my attention.

Warm and insightful yet tough. Excellent combination!

She’s great

Jan Waring is what you have been looking for. She is knowledgeable and grounded in reality. Her advice isn’t to change your life but to help you find perspective to make your own decisions.

Jan quickly became one of my favourite weekly commitments of the last few months. She gets me as if we had known each other for many years, and I'm very grateful for the support and direction that she provides every single time we talk.

Another great session with Jan!

Jan has been very helpful and looking forward to talking with her again

Jan is amazing! With her advice and teachings, I was able to get out of a dark time in my life and now I am a lot better. I can’t thank you enough Jan for everything you’ve done for me. Thank you!

Jan is one of the best therapists I have ever worked with. She approaches my issues in a calm and positive way. She helps me to be more reflective which is important to my personal growth. Everybody needs a Jan!

Jan is great! She’s patient , down to earth, kind, empathetic and challenges me .

Jan is amazing! She’s helped me work through so many things and pushed me to do things that scare me!

Jan has been very insightful to my situation. She has been supportive and instructive. I appreciate her ability to keep us on track and give practical advice in our short sessions. Jan has helped me improve my personal relationships.

Jan dispelled any hesitancy I had around online counselling. She is precisely the kind of therapist I’ve been looking for—considerate, knowledgeable, firm, and experienced. I am getting exactly what I needed from our sessions and can’t wait to continue working with her.

I have had two sessions with Jan and already it feels like talking to an old friend who knows and understands me. Jan is insightful and a wonderful listener which go well with her ability to make connections in my responses to her questions and the things I am not saying. I have been in therapy before and was hesitant about the platform and how it might all work not being in person. I would have never found Jan if I had gone through the traditional methods of searching for a therapist in my area as she lives on the east coast and I'm on the west. I'm so thankful I have found her and look forward to all of the sessions to come under her care.

Jan is great, it feels like talking to a close friend that gives great advice. I struggle to talk about things that are bringing me down but Jan makes me feel comfortable and relaxed enough to open up.

Jan is thoughtful and caring. She brings great perspective that helps me with my needs.

Jan has been a great introduction to therapy for me. She is very patient and willing to help in a kind manner. I would recommend Jan to anyone as she is a great listener and has helped me even in the short time we’ve spent together!

Jan is lovely person, she listening all my concern , help & guide me realise what is major concern in my life , what I should focus & how to make myself happy. She listen to me , support me & help me find who am I. In our conversation, I am feeling talking to friend without any concern , she make me feel comfort to talk to & enjoy our conversation, sometime I felt 30 mins seem not enough for us. ^^ Highly recommend Jan ^^

After our sessions I always feel a sense of relief and confidence but most importantly inner peace. Thank you so much Jan!

The amount of progress she has helped me achieve is outstanding!

I’ve only done three sessions with Jan so far and I really enjoyed chatting with her. I’m looking forward to our journey

Jan is incredibly knowledgeable, asks excellent questions (and helps me answer them), and is supportive and caring. Thank you!

I cannot thank Jan enough for how much she has helped in just a few short months. She is patient and I was comfortable with her right away. It has been a relief seeing myself make progress and fun having someone to hold me accountable. Thanks so much Jan!!

I very much look forward to my sessions with Jan, even though they can be tough calls. Jan is supportive and direct. I appreciate that she listens with compassion but is able to offer wisdom and challenges me to see the truth I may not always see.

Incredible helpful with untangling my negative thoughts and replacing them with healthy affirmations and feelings.

Jan has been a really great help in all sessions and really opened up my perspective on the limitations that I put on myself and that has helped me to try and change my mindset and work on myself in a positive way. She talks to you in the most lovely kindhearted way all while being realistic and getting the point across. She really takes on board what you’re saying and gets the situation that you’re in.

Jan is extremely insightful and inspiring. I have had therapy on and off for almost ten years and has helped me more than any other therapist. Very grateful!!

I almost gave up looking for the right therapist and then I found Jan! She’s a great listener and is wonderful at understanding my concerns and giving me helpful tools to use in life.
