About Jane
Jane Pompeo is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Vermont with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Jane listens with respect and adapts the pace and topics to each person's needs.
Her work combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered care and practical strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches. She helps people tell and reframe the stories they live by, spot patterns that cause pain, and test small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be clear and actionable rather than full of jargon. Jane also supports people facing addictions, anger, parenting challenges, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She brings experience with aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and health-related stresses such as cancer.
Jane pays attention to how life events affect identity and relationships. In session she uses listening, reflective questions, and straightforward exercises like behavior experiments or mindfulness practices. Goals are set together and adjusted over time so work stays relevant.
The focus is on practical steps that build confidence and ease day-to-day coping. Therapy is offered in multiple online formats to fit different needs. People can expect clear guidance about next steps and support while they try new ways of responding to old problems.

Online session options
How Narrative and Practical Methods Work Online
Jane combines Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral ideas. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives, helping identify alternative stories that reduce shame and open choices. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors and test small, doable changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan based on what fits and what produces useful change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, between-session support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when schedules shift.
