About Jane

Jane Ayers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who supports people managing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

With two decades of clinical experience, she blends trauma-informed care with respect for each person’s values and life story to help clients identify practical goals and take meaningful steps toward change. Jane emphasizes collaboration and views healing as a process that draws on the client’s own strengths.

Her work often explores how present difficulties connect with past experiences, using mindful awareness and reflective conversation to uncover patterns, make sense of emotions, and build new options for coping. Jane integrates evidence-based methods alongside relational attention to help clients navigate loss, substance concerns, attachment struggles, and chronic health or identity-related challenges.

She offers a steady, empathetic presence aimed at fostering insight, resilience, and self-directed growth. Jane welcomes the opportunity to join others on a deliberate path toward understanding and forward movement, inviting clients to set goals and collaborate on steps that fit their lives and values.

Integrating therapeutic approaches in online care

Jane often combines Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients explore internal parts and clarify personal values. Internal Family Systems supports noticing and dialoguing with different internal parts to reduce conflict and increase internal cooperation, which can help with trauma responses, anxiety, and patterns of shame. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping clients commit to values-guided actions, which can be useful for stress, depression, and addiction concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist approaches treatment collaboratively, listening to each person’s goals and preferences and using those conversations to select or adapt methods that match their needs and pace. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions and ensures clients have a say in how therapy proceeds.

Online therapy with Jane uses flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life demands, offering practical access to licensed professionals while supporting consistent, ongoing therapeutic work.
