More about Jan

  • 33 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am Dr. Jan Ligon, a licensed therapist (LCSW) for 33 years (MSW, PhD, University of Georgia). In addition to working with individuals, couples and families, I have very diverse experiences in mental health and substance abuse services. My approaches to working with people include cognitive behavioral (CBT), motivational (MET), as well as task and solutions-focused methods. While it is possible for people to develop insight into their issues and concerns, my focus is on acknowledging the past while moving forward to the future. Often this can best be accomplished by developing goals that help move ahead more quickly. I view this process as a partnership between the client and the therapist.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
