About Jana
Jana Pitts is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and low self-esteem. She supports individuals facing life changes and those trying to build healthier coping skills. Her tone is steady and practical, focused on listening and clear steps forward.
With 15 years of experience, she uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s priorities front and center. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Sessions aim to balance honest listening with gentle structure so clients can make changes that fit their lives.
Her work often addresses issues like codependency, feelings of emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. She also helps people clarify life purpose and practice self-love, and supports those dealing with social anxiety and phobias. The focus is on practical steps and learning new ways to respond to familiar problems.
In sessions she offers a listening ear and keeps clients accountable for the goals they set. Conversations are plainspoken and focused on what the client wants to change. Over time, the work builds coping skills and clearer thinking to make everyday life more manageable.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully to what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps people feel heard and steers the work by their priorities rather than a fixed agenda.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, social fears, and low self-esteem by breaking issues into manageable steps and testing new ways of coping.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they will try things, check what works, and adjust the plan over time.
Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are delivered.
