About Jane
Jane Winston Doman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who combines practical methods with a warm, direct style. She helps people find workable coping steps for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes.
Background and approach
Jane draws on ten years of clinical experience and a long personal journey into the helping field. She trained for a second career in clinical psychology and earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University.
Jane has worked in community mental health and spent significant time supporting older adults and adult children caring for parents. That background informs how she approaches caregiver stress, aging issues, and end-of-life concerns.
In sessions she aims to build a steady, collaborative relationship. Conversations focus on clear goals and straightforward strategies people can use between appointments.
She blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to address panic, phobias, and depression. Jane also uses relationship-focused methods to help people improve communication and manage family conflict.
She helps clients process abandonment, codependency, forgiveness, and separation concerns in ways that fit their values. Practical coaching around career choices and life purpose is offered alongside therapy when clients want it.
Her style is respectful and grounded. Jane works in English and practices in California.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible scheduling. To begin, people complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Using Gottman, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches Online
Jane integrates Gottman-informed relationship tools, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques into online work. The Gottman-informed approach focuses on improving communication and managing conflict in relationships by teaching specific skills and small behavioral shifts. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and depression.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jane works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals and preferences. She may combine gentle listening with skill practice, mindfulness exercises, and problem-solving to create a plan that fits day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection, brief coaching, and flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around caregiving, work, and life demands.
