Jane Robbins, LCSW

Jane Robbins is an LCSW practicing in North Carolina with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life changes. Jane writes plainly and meets people where they are to begin practical work on real problems.

She trained in social work, earning a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Tennessee after completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Her career started in Memphis and has included work across age groups and settings, including hospice care and services for people with chronic mental illness. That breadth informs how she approaches each person’s needs.

Jane emphasizes building trust first. She believes a good working relationship makes it possible to try new skills and make changes. Sessions focus on what the client finds most useful rather than forcing a single method.

She draws on several approaches to match the person and the problem. That can mean using behavior-focused tools to manage symptoms, exploring values and choices, or working through patterns that date back to earlier relationships. The goal is to help people find small, sustainable steps forward.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Jane aims to help clients leave sessions with one or two things they can practice between meetings. She encourages steady progress and celebrates practical wins along the way.

How Jane’s approaches can work online

Jane uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for grief, addiction, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jane makes decisions about methods together with each person, matching techniques to goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions so they feel useful from the start.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling across time zones possible. The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. The focus is on making therapy practical and workable within everyday routines so clients can try skills between meetings.
