Jane Collingwood, LCSW

Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings ten years of experience in outpatient, residential, and in-home settings. Jane focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She listens without judgment and aims to build a real connection from the first session.

Her approach blends practical techniques with a calm, person-centered stance. Jane uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She incorporates dialectical behavior skills for emotion regulation and acceptance and commitment therapy strategies to clarify values and take meaningful action.

She has worked across many life stages and settings, so she is familiar with caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, and chronic illness concerns. Other areas she commonly addresses include parenting strain, addiction-related challenges, codependency, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Jane also helps people dealing with abandonment feelings, commitment worries, and communication breakdowns.

Sessions emphasize practical steps that fit into daily life. Jane tailors the work to each person’s pace and goals, blending direct skills practice with space to reflect on feelings. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client steers the priorities.

Her background in social work means she considers whole-life factors, such as family roles, health, and caregiving responsibilities, when planning treatment. Jane works in English and practices in Wisconsin as an LCSW.

Approaches that guide online work and decision making

Jane often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to someone and taking small steps toward those values, which can help with grief, motivation, and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jane works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. That said, online approaches can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to keep appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs. Licensed professionals use these methods to teach coping skills, practice communication, and work through grief or relationship concerns in ways that translate into daily routines.
