About Jandia
She centers sessions on each person's story and practical next steps. Jandia listens for what matters most and helps clients identify small changes that make a difference. Conversations tend to be direct, compassionate, and aimed at building useful skills for day-to-day life.
Her background includes work with issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and fertility challenges. She also helps people facing isolation, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation.
Jandia draws on several therapy approaches to fit the situation. She uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts, try new responses, and improve coping.
Her style blends empathy with practical tools. Sessions emphasize real-life application so skills transfer outside the session. People who want steady, experience-based support while navigating relationship or caregiving strain may find her approach helpful.

How approaches and online sessions can fit your caregiving life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help when someone struggles with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. It is practical and often centers on homework between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for compassion fatigue and caregiving stress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with clients to pick techniques that match their goals, needs, and what feels doable. That collaborative stance means plans can change as circumstances shift or new priorities emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use methods like CBT worksheets and mindfulness exercises between sessions to reinforce progress. Talk with the therapist about how to make sessions work around caregiving responsibilities and daily routines.
