Getting to know Jane Akponye
Hi there, I'm Jane!
Hello, my name is Dr. Jane Akponye! I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 129857), a certified Anger Management provider, an EQi-2.0 certified practitioner, and the author of “Children of Divorced Parents”. As a passionate person, I decided to help people find their passions and celebrate life through counseling. Due to perceived stigma, it’s often tough to decide whether to see a therapist when we are worried, stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed with life experiences. I ask you not to struggle through it alone but embrace help. I will be the shoulder for you to lean on and provide a comfortable space for you to work through the problems until you celebrate life.
My approach
I use evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Interventions (SFI), Person-Centered Technique (PCT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These techniques are tailored to your specific needs, help reduce anxiety, stress, control destructive behavior, and change into positive behavior.
My focus
My specialties involve clients who need self-esteem building, anxiety reduction, depression relief, strengthening of marriages, anger management, stress management, and relationship management. I also see clients with domestic violence, parenting, and marital issues.
My communication style
I am an assertive communicator and always encourage my clients to communicate assertively because it shows confidence and enhances effectiveness. I work unconditionally with clients and know how diverse we all are, and the different stories we tell. Regardless of our different backgrounds, statuses, and perspectives, mental health can be a challenge for all of us, however, we should never allow ourselves to be defeated. I have confidence in myself as a therapist and I believe, with my client's openness and commitment to therapy, they may successfully improve their life.
