About Jane
Jane Ahern is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Jane speaks English and accepts international clients.
She has worked in college counseling and community clinic settings, including starting a college Counseling Center and working at The Free Clinic in Cleveland. Those roles shaped how she supports people facing life transitions and the practical pressures of day-to-day life. Jane also lived in Ireland as a young adult, which informs her awareness of adapting to new environments.
Her background includes study at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland and the Psychoanalytic Institute of Cleveland, along with a one-year program in spirituality that covered a variety of spiritual practices. These experiences contribute to how she frames conversations and explores meaning with people seeking direction.
In sessions she focuses on clear, respectful dialog and works with each person to build a plan that fits their goals. She addresses concrete concerns such as communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
People can expect practical conversations about what’s happening now and what might help next. Jane aims to listen carefully and help clients sort through choices, not to promise specific outcomes or guarantees.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jane draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address specific problems. Gestalt-informed ideas focus on present-moment awareness and how a person's habits of relating show up in everyday life; this can help with communication problems and relationship strain. Psychoanalytic-informed approaches look at repeated patterns and hidden feelings that influence current choices, which can be useful for people working through trauma, guilt, or longstanding anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the way sessions proceed as those needs change over time.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. If you prefer different ways of meeting, confirm the available session formats before booking so you can pick what best fits your day. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to maintain continuity after a move or during periods of transition, while focusing on concrete goals such as managing panic attacks, improving communication, or clarifying life purpose.
