About Jane
Jane Winston Doman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, and the demands of caregiving. Jane also supports people coping with life changes, career strain, anger, compassion fatigue, and questions of life purpose.
Jane changed careers later in life and earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in 1993. That life experience informs how she listens and how she helps people make gradual changes. She has worked in community mental health settings and has experience supporting older adults and adult children caring for a parent.
In practice she focuses on building a dependable working relationship and practical skills. Sessions include talking through stresses, practicing coping strategies, and trying small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or lift mood. She draws on methods that fit the client rather than using a single formula.
Jane blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Family approaches, and Existential thinking to address daily struggles and deeper questions. She supports people facing family-of-origin issues, communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, and end-of-life or hospice concerns.
People often come to her for help managing panic attacks, phobias, caregiver stress, abandonment wounds, or the exhaustion that follows long periods of caring for others. She offers practical conversation and concrete tools to help people cope and make clearer choices.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making space for the client's perspective. It helps when someone needs to sort through feelings about relationships, caregiving, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers concrete exercises to reduce anxiety or lift mood. CBT can help with panic attacks, phobias, and unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness therapy adds simple practices to notice the present moment, which can ease rumination and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps identify whether cognitive tools, mindfulness practices, or a client-centered conversation is most useful for each concern.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, attention, and practical needs so sessions fit into daily life.
