Jana Dobesova, LPC

Jana Dobesova is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and midlife concerns. She supports people coping with life changes, grief, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Jana also works with issues related to trauma, ADHD, and LGBT concerns.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. She focuses on what people can control and looks at thoughts that influence feelings and actions. Sessions may include talk therapy and expressive techniques like sandtray or drawings when those fit a client's needs.

Jana uses a mix of approaches to match each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and Motivational Interviewing to help people build practical skills and clarify values. The goal is to find steps that feel achievable in day-to-day life.

She brings about 12 years of experience as a counselor and a master's degree in counseling earned in 2013. Her background includes work with childhood behavioral issues and caregiver-child interaction methods, which can influence how she supports parents and people concerned about attachment.

People who choose Jana can expect a collaborative, respectful relationship that focuses on strengths and small changes. If you are unsure whether she is a good fit, complete the initial matching questionnaire to learn more before scheduling.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns for issues like stress, anger, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes relationships and early patterns of connection; it can help people understand how past attachments influence current behavior and closeness in relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. Together they will try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let someone choose an option that does not require being on camera. Talk through practical preferences during the matching process to pick the best way to meet.
