About Jana

Jana Pruett is a licensed social worker in Georgia who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression.

Background and approach

She brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to help people navigate control issues, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, divorce and separation, and women's issues. Jana emphasizes practical support alongside emotional understanding to help clients move toward clearer thinking and greater emotional balance.

Her manner in therapy is warm and nonjudgmental, inviting clients to explore difficult thoughts and feelings at a comfortable pace. She draws on approaches such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor interventions to each person's needs.

Jana encourages collaboration, helping clients identify values, develop coping strategies, and build skills for daily life while honoring their individual experience.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches in Online Care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of distinct parts and helps people understand and heal internal conflicts by developing a compassionate relationship with those parts; this approach can be useful for trauma responses, self-criticism, and complicated emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values clarification and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping clients commit to meaningful actions that align with their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for symptoms like anxiety, depression, and mood disturbance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jana works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and then blends techniques from these methods to create a tailored plan rather than relying on a single modality. Clients are invited to give feedback and help steer the work so therapy fits their pace and priorities.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and for choosing ways to communicate that feel most comfortable. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or other commitments while accessing licensed professionals who use evidence-informed methods adapted for virtual work.
