Sarah Janes, LPCC, LPC

Sarah Janes is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who has practiced in New Mexico for 13 years. She helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, as well as depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma and abuse, anger, and major life changes. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She works in a collaborative way, tailoring each plan to the person's needs. Sessions draw on client-centered ideas that prioritize the person's experience, cognitive-behavioral tools that look at thoughts and actions, and solution-focused strategies that aim for small workable changes. Mindfulness techniques and simple art-based exercises are sometimes used to support coping and self-expression.

Sarah emphasizes helping people gain insight and feel more able to make changes in daily life. She often breaks bigger problems into smaller goals to make progress more manageable. When life feels overwhelming, she helps clients find clearer next steps and build coping skills they can use between sessions.

Her background includes over a decade of practice in community and clinical settings across New Mexico. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and integrates those experiences into practical, straight‑forward work with clients. People who want a caring, down-to-earth clinician to help with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures, or recovery from past hurt may find her approach useful.

To begin, she asks people to share current concerns and goals so sessions can be shaped around what matters most to them. The focus is on realistic change, steady progress, and building skills that fit everyday life.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own experience and uses listening and reflection to help people understand what matters to them. This approach supports emotional processing and makes it easier to set goals that feel right for the person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and mood by practicing different ways of thinking and small behavior changes.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying immediate, achievable steps toward a preferred future. It is useful when someone wants short-term strategies to manage day-to-day problems and build momentum.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then recommend approaches to try together. That plan can change over time as needs evolve.

For practical benefits, online work can help sessions fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. It can also make shorter check-ins easier to arrange when life is hectic. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available, and expect the therapist to help tailor the sessions to your routine and goals.
