About Jana
Jana Grooms is a licensed psychotherapist who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works with issues that include parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and questions around gender and identity. Jana brings 22 years of clinical experience to each meeting.
Her manner is warm, steady, and nonjudgmental. Sessions aim to feel like a space to breathe rather than a place of pressure.
Background and approach
Jana listens first, then offers practical tools and simple strategies to reduce distress and build coping skills. Jana draws from attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centered approaches to keep the work focused on each person’s goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help name unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Over two decades of practice have given Jana experience with trauma, grief, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She often pairs talk work with mindfulness and skills-based practice so people can try changes between sessions.
Jana avoids jargon and keeps explanations clear and concrete. People who meet with her can expect collaborative planning, step-by-step tools, and a focus on what will help in daily life. She works from Florida and conducts sessions in English, offering options that fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
How attachment ideas and skills translate online
Jana uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect present stress and connection. This approach helps people notice patterns in relationships and practice different responses in everyday life. Client-centered work keeps sessions focused on each person’s goals, encouraging honest reflection and collaborative planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, mood problems, and coping with life changes.Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Jana will listen to your concerns, discuss which methods might fit, and adjust the plan as goals and needs evolve. The focus is on practical steps you can use between sessions and on pacing the work so it feels manageable.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit meetings into busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls can be lower bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, comfort levels, and daily routines while keeping the therapeutic goals at the center.
