Jana Dobesova, LPC

Jana Dobesova is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Tennessee. She has 12 years of experience and helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, parenting strain, or identity concerns related to LGBT issues. She also supports those coping with trauma, ADHD, career changes, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is straightforward and companionable. She focuses on what people can control and helps them notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Sessions often include talking, and Jana also uses expressive tools like sandtray work and drawings when those fit the clients needs.

Jana draws on several approaches to shape the work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take purposeful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work around relationship wounds and caregiving dynamics.

She holds a Masters in Counseling from East Tennessee State University and is a Tennessee Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC. Her background includes training and roles related to parent-child interaction and play therapy methods that address childhood behavioral concerns.

Jana aims to meet people where they are and to build on existing strengths. She invites clients to take small, practical steps toward clearer goals and more stable routines. The process is collaborative and paced to each persons comfort level.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where action matters more than finding perfect answers.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new, more useful ways of thinking and behaving. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger by giving concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That conversation helps shape whether ACT, CBT, attachment-based ideas, or expressive tools are emphasized.

Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. People often find it simpler to join from wherever they have quieter surroundings or a short break, and therapists can adapt exercises, worksheets, and expressive activities for remote use when appropriate.
