Jan Stewart, LCSW

Jan Stewart is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. He emphasizes building a strong connection with each person who seeks support. Jan welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to walk alongside clients as they address life’s challenges.

He uses a blend of approaches to match what a person needs. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how earlier life patterns show up now.

Jan has worked in Tennessee settings for many years and brings practical ways to cope with loss, relationship strain, and changes in life roles. He often helps people who are dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, or the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. His experience also includes addressing addiction, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions focus on what the person needs next, whether that means building coping skills, making different choices, or reflecting on long-standing patterns. Jan aims for straightforward conversation and real-world strategies that fit day-to-day life. He encourages people to take small steps toward lasting changes.

How Jan’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Jan blends client-centered listening with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and psychodynamic perspectives to guide online sessions. Client-centered Therapy centers on being heard and understood, and it helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to talk. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and helps with anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeated life patterns and where they may come from to bring clearer choices into the present.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jan will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed to match changing needs and preferences.

Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered for scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow quicker access to support after a major life event. They also make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to arrange. If format options matter to you, check the listed options when you schedule so sessions will fit your day-to-day life.
