About Jan
Jan Stewart is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Tennessee with 37 years of professional experience. He works with adults on common life stressors such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. He also sees people coping with trauma, addiction, caregiving stress, and midlife or career transitions.
He uses an approach that begins with building a working connection. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage stress, name unhelpful patterns, and try different ways of responding. Conversations are straightforward and paced for someone balancing home and work duties.
Jan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take concrete action toward those values. He uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s concerns and priorities in session. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to look at recurring patterns that affect current relationships and choices.
He has worked across a wide range of settings and with diverse life problems during his career. That background informs brief coping strategies and longer conversations about losses, identity, and difficult family dynamics. Jan aims to help people make steady changes they can live with.
If you are managing grief, caregiving burdens, blended-family tensions, or ongoing anxiety, he can help you sort priorities and try new responses. To begin, follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How Jan’s approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose small actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions by focusing on what matters next. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses listening and reflection to help someone clarify priorities and feel understood. That approach is useful when parents or caregivers need practical support and a steady conversation. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and past influences that shape current behavior and relationships, which can help when problems repeat across different life roles.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jan will talk with you about your goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can change over time as practical needs or family circumstances shift.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT, client-centered, or psychodynamic work in virtual sessions to address stress, parenting strain, grief, and relationship patterns.
