About Jana
Jana Pitts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 15 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Jana also pays attention to issues like codependency, feelings of emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.
Jana keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions focus on identifying what feels stuck and trying small, concrete changes. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to the person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
In practice, Jana combines listening with accountability. She helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Then she works with them to set manageable steps they can try between sessions. This often includes testing new ways of thinking and acting in everyday situations.
Her approach suits people who want clear options and real-world strategies after a job change, a breakup, a loss, or another shift in life. Conversations are focused on actions and adjustments that fit a person’s day-to-day life. Jana invites practical problem-solving alongside personal reflection.
She works in English and sees clients in California. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's See online therapy options button.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps clarify values and priorities by keeping the dialogue centered on the client’s experiences and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at specific thoughts and behaviors. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change responses and mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jana will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She treats the decision as collaborative and adjusts methods as progress or needs shift over time.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce commute time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also recommend homework and brief behavior experiments that fit into daily routines, so the work continues between meetings.
