01About Jana
Jana Dobesova is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the fallout from trauma and grief. She offers practical support for parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and concerns related to ADHD and identity. Her style aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.
Jana favors straightforward conversations. She focuses on what a person can change now and on small, doable shifts in thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions often mix talking with hands-on activities when helpful, so therapy can feel less stuck on words alone. Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment techniques that build values-based action. Attachment-focused work informs how she looks at relationship patterns and early wounds that still affect day-to-day life.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck about making changes. Jana has practiced for 12 years and holds the LPC credential, which she uses while working with adults on a wide range of concerns. She uses tools that fit each person's needs rather than one fixed method.
This can include practical exercises, communication skills practice, and short-term goal setting. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Jana helps people identify small steps, track progress, and adjust the plan as they go.
The overall goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and more control over daily choices.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Jana uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that lead to upsetting feelings and unhelpful actions. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger because it breaks problems into clear steps to practice.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which supports people in clarifying their values and taking small actions that align with those values despite difficult thoughts or emotions. That method can help with stress, grief, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. The plan can be adjusted as progress and needs change, making the process collaborative.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practice work, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and chat or text can suit short updates or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
