About Jane
Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 10 years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life changes.
She has provided therapy in homes, residential treatment settings, and outpatient clinics. That range means she is used to conversations that begin amid ordinary life and those that happen during more structured care. Sessions often draw on cognitive behavioral ideas and dialectical behavior strategies to address thought patterns and coping skills.
Jane also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based approaches when relevant. Those methods help people notice what matters, accept difficult thoughts, and focus on committed action. She blends these with client-centered listening so people feel heard and can set practical goals.
Her background includes work with grief, end-of-life concerns, aging and caregiver stress. She also has experience with intimacy and relationship problems, communication difficulties, blended family issues, and concerns around fertility or fatherhood.
In sessions she takes time to get to know how a person thinks and copes. Conversations are straightforward and aim to identify small, manageable steps. She uses tools from motivational interviewing when people want to change habits or address addictions.
People who come feeling stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health can expect practical focus and steady support for turning that uncertainty into clearer next steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Jane uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that translate well to remote sessions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with feelings of emptiness, grief, or major life changes. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.She treats the process of finding the right approach as collaborative. During early sessions she will listen to what matters, review current struggles, and suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the work together as needs and goals become clearer.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping continuity when life changes make in-person appointments harder. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals can use a mix of approaches to keep sessions focused on short-term steps and everyday strategies.
