About Jane

Jane Ronec is an AASW social worker with nine years of clinical experience in Australia. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship and family concerns. She also supports those coping with life changes and work difficulties.

Jane works from a view that clients know their story and carry strengths that help them move forward. In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and names the emotions underneath behaviours. She uses straightforward language and aims to make therapy feel practical and manageable.

Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive tools. That mix helps when feelings are hard to name, when anxiety and grief are present, or when behaviour change is needed. Sessions often focus on identifying strong emotions and trying small, concrete steps between meetings.

Jane has experience supporting people affected by family violence and those dealing with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. She also works with issues such as abandonment and attachment, body image, addiction, sleep problems, anger, and career concerns. Her practice includes mood disorders and ADHD-related difficulties.

People who choose Jane can expect a clear, steady way of working. Early meetings focus on what matters most now and on practical strategies to test between sessions. She invites honest feedback as part of finding approaches that fit each person’s life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and naming emotions and the patterns they create in relationships or personal responses. It helps when feelings are difficult to identify and when emotional patterns keep repeating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to test different responses to problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jane will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to decide what to try first, based on goals and how someone prefers to work. Feedback and small experiments between sessions shape the plan as therapy continues.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting people choose whether to use video or not. The focus remains on practical steps and emotional clarity rather than on a particular format.
