About Jana
Jana Dobesova is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with 12 years of experience. She helps people coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting strain, and life changes. Her work also addresses concerns related to trauma and abuse, ADHD, and LGBT matters.
She uses clear, direct conversation to identify what is causing pressure at home. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and practical steps people can try between meetings. Jana draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients focus on values and practical action.
Attachment-based ideas are part of her approach when relationships and caregiving patterns matter. Client-centered listening is a steady part of sessions so people feel heard while they name next steps. Motivational Interviewing techniques help when someone is unsure about change or feels stuck.
Her background includes a Master’s in Counseling from East Tennessee State University. Jana has worked with issues connected to adoption, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and chronic illness alongside common mood and anxiety problems. She has experience using expressive methods such as sandtray and drawings when that fits a person’s needs.
She prefers straightforward planning and small, achievable goals between sessions. People often leave with concrete tools to try at home. The profile that follows explains how she works online and what to expect when getting started.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. Online sessions can be used to practice those steps and set realistic actions for daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress. In remote sessions clients and the therapist review patterns and agree on short exercises to try between meetings, such as tracking thoughts or testing a new behavior.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that come from relationships and caregiving. When relationship history affects how someone reacts at home, this work helps label those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skills with acceptance strategies and attachment ideas as progress unfolds.
