She is skilled in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful technique particularly effective for treating anxiety and trauma responses. Additionally, Jan employs DBT-informed techniques to assist clients in developing emotional stability alongside mindfulness practices. Her toolbox also includes evidence-based methods such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).
