About Jane
Dr. Jane Barton is a licensed psychologist in Tennessee with 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate strong emotions and difficult life changes, including anger, grief, depression, and anxiety.
Dr. Barton aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed. Her style is calm and direct.
She listens first, then helps clients name problems and try manageable steps to feel better. Sessions often include work on communication, coping skills, and strategies to reduce impulsive reactions like anger outbursts.
Background and approach
Over nearly three decades she has supported people facing addiction, trauma, and relationship struggles. She also addresses concerns such as body image, shame, codependency, and isolation. Her experience includes long-term and short-term work depending on what a person needs.
Dr. Barton uses a mix of approaches that center the person and their choices. She draws on client-centered methods to understand each person’s priorities, and on cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also brings existential questions into sessions when people are wrestling with meaning or life direction. Practical steps are a feature of her work. People can expect to leave sessions with specific tools to practice between meetings.
Her goal is to help clients build steadier mood management, clearer communication, and better day-to-day coping. She offers care in English and provides online formats to fit different schedules. Dr.

Online approaches for managing emotions and behavior
Dr. Barton blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to make online therapy practical and focused. Client-centered therapy means she begins by listening closely to each person’s priorities and goals, helping them steer sessions in the directions that matter most. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anger or anxiety.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Dr. Barton will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then tailor methods accordingly. That collaboration helps ensure sessions focus on real-world changes rather than abstract ideas alone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of techniques. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or for someone who prefers audio only. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, rapid skills practice, or people who do better writing than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
