About Jane
Jane Winston Doman is a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical ways to feel steadier and more capable.
Background and approach
Jane draws on ten years of experience to guide conversations that lead to clearer choices and calmer days. Jane shifted into therapy after a career change later in life and completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University in 1993.
That experience shapes the way she works with adults facing transitions, caregiving strain, and questions about purpose. Her background includes work in community mental health supporting older adults and caregivers through stress and end-of-life concerns.
In sessions she creates a warm, respectful setting where clients can talk openly. She uses a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to address symptoms like panic, depression, or low self-esteem.
Conversations focus on small, doable steps that build coping skills and reduce overwhelm. She also brings tools for relationship and communication challenges, including elements of the Gottman Method and narrative work to help people untangle repeated patterns.
Jane supports clients dealing with abandonment, codependency, career crossroads, and family-of-origin issues. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aiming to help people make real progress between sessions.
Jane practices in California as an LMFT and works with adults on issues such as caregiving stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. She speaks English and designs care plans according to each person’s goals and day-to-day needs.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist offers attentive listening and gentle guidance so people can reflect on their values and choices; this helps with life transitions, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into small steps and teaches practical tools for panic, anxiety, phobias, and depression so people can test new ways of coping between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm worry. It supports people dealing with stress, grief, and ongoing anxiety by building steady habits for the day-to-day.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust over time based on what helps most. Sessions are collaborative and aim to match tools to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter space is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing thoughts feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and caregiving demands.
