About Jan
Dr. Jan Capaccioli welcomes people who are feeling stuck by addiction, grief, low self-esteem, or ongoing family and relationship stress. She writes simply and directly, so conversations focus on practical next steps rather than jargon.
Jan is a licensed clinical social worker and brings 23 years of experience to her work in Texas. She listens for the patterns that keep a person repeating painful choices. Then she helps clients try clearer ways of coping, setting boundaries, and repairing relationships when possible.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what someone can manage in their daily life. Jan has worked with people facing trauma, substance use concerns, eating and body image struggles, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. She also helps with anger, intimacy issues, obsessive thoughts, and problems tied to military service.
Her style is respectful and direct. She adapts the conversation and plan to the needs of each person instead of applying one fixed method. Changes are introduced in small steps so they fit into real routines.
For many people the first session is about making sense of the immediate problem and agreeing on a few practical goals. Later sessions focus on skills, decisions, and tracking what actually changes. Jan aims to support steady progress and clearer choices over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Evidence-based therapy often means working on specific problems with practical techniques. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and behavioral changes - it teaches ways to manage urges, mood shifts, and difficult reactions that come with addictions, PTSD, or mood disorders. This helps people try small experiments and notice what works in daily life.Another useful approach centers on processing trauma and its effects on relationships and safety. That work helps people name painful memories, reduce their hold on daily emotions, and practice new responses when triggers arise. It can be helpful for those dealing with abuse, post-traumatic stress, or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and comfort level. Together they set short-term targets and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a quick break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing feels more natural than speaking. These options make regular contact and steady progress more achievable.
