About Jan
Jan Stewart is a Tennessee LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 37 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship challenges, and life changes, including concerns around guilt and shame.
Jan focuses on building a genuine connection in the therapy room. He offers a steady presence while people talk through what is weighing on them. He keeps language simple and practical so clients can use what they learn between sessions.
In sessions he draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and respond to each person’s concerns. Psychodynamic ideas inform his attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and time.
Jan has considerable experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, addictions, caregiver stress, and midlife or career transitions. He also works with concerns such as chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life issues, and post-traumatic stress. He is comfortable addressing questions around family of origin, blended families, and the strain that caregiving can bring.
People who come for help with shame or guilt can expect clear, straightforward conversation about what happened and what matters now. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches used for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then choose actions that reflect what matters to them. This can be useful for guilt, shame, anxiety, and life changes.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person without judgement. It supports people who need space to talk through feelings such as grief, relationship strain, or caregiver stress.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and personal history to understand how past experiences affect present behavior. It can help when shame or family of origin issues keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape practical steps and the focus of sessions.
