About Jana
Jana Gumley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Alaska with four years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and parenting issues, and coping with life changes.
She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Jana also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current struggles. Sessions usually involve straightforward conversation, skill practice, and planning small, doable steps between meetings.
Jana’s background includes work across age ranges and cultural settings, and she has experience with issues such as sexual trauma, substance use, chronic health challenges, and caregiver stress. Her approach is person-focused and goal-oriented; she pays attention to everyday pressures like work, family, money, and health when planning treatment.
Clinically, she integrates methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma processing is appropriate, alongside motivational techniques for when behavior change is a focus. She helps people address communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and blended family stress through practical strategies.
Jana practices in Alaska and conducts sessions in English. She uses a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.
BHow sessions work
How Jana’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to identify relationship triggers and practice new ways of relating in real time.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. In an online setting CBT involves talking through examples from daily life, trying short exercises, and setting clear steps to practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce overwhelm. These practices can be introduced in a session and then used during routine moments, like work breaks or transitions at home.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jana will collaborate with each person to decide whether attachment ideas, CBT, EMDR, or mindfulness best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as people try methods and see what helps.
The biography does not list which remote session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into work and family schedules more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills in real life between meetings while staying connected with a licensed professional.
