Jane Collingwood, LCSW

Jane Collingwood is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people facing grief, loss, aging concerns, depression, anxiety, and relationship strains. Jane works in a direct, respectful way and focuses on building a genuine therapeutic relationship before moving into goals or skills work.

Her approach mixes practical methods with a person-centered attitude. Jane uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and DBT skills for emotion regulation. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice values and take small consistent steps toward them.

Jane has worked in homes, residential treatment settings, and outpatient clinics. That range means she is familiar with both short-term problem-solving and longer-term support for complex challenges. She often helps people manage caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, and the emotional effects of major life changes.

In sessions she keeps the tone nonjudgmental and curious. She listens first, then offers tools that match a person’s style and goals. Therapy sessions include talking through concerns, practicing new skills, and setting manageable steps for change.

People come to Jane for many reasons, from parenting and intimacy issues to coping with aging and caregiver strain. She emphasizes collaboration and adjusts methods as needs evolve, helping clients move at a pace that feels right for them.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
