How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
When determining therapy goals with clients I include the client. First, I learn about you and what brought you to participate in therapy. Then we talk about what you would like to accomplish from a goals perspective. I will assist you in setting goals that are appropriate. I also set goals that are attainable and not unrealistic. The purpose is not to set you up for failure, it is to help you achieve success.
What do you think is the biggest barrier today for people seeking care?
Finances and insurance plays a big role in seeking therapy. Particularly, in this time of COVID, which has changed our world as we knew it. Unfortunately though, COVID has added increased stressors for people. I also believe there has been a stigma for years from society on therapy and I find this difficult for people to reach out. If we lived more by our own thoughts, feelings and emotions instead of what society dictates to us I feel we would all live happier and healthier lives.
If there was one thing you wish people knew about the therapy experience who might be hesitant to try it, what would that be?
Therapy can be extremely beneficial if you choose it to be. There is no problem too small for therapy. If you feel it is necessary for you, then it is. Go into it with an open mind and you probably will find the therapists are friendly, welcoming and nonjudgemental. I am here to support you and to provide you with tools to better yourself and your future. I believe each person is an individual with personal experiences which are yours that you carry and effect you in a very personal way. There is no right or wrong way. I accept you for who you are and believe in positive reinforcement and praise.

Work History
My name is Jana Lampman and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Texas. I have 16 years experience as a social worker with a broad spectrum of experience. I attended Texas State University - San Marcos for my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I was also blessed to be able to Study Abroad at Columbia University in 2007 where I attended a Cultural Competency course. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, teens, young adults and geriatrics. My experience has been in depression, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting, life struggles, family issues, co-dependency, trauma, substance abuse, and adjustments to change. People describe me as empathetic, compassionate and a good listener. I believe in a strengths-based approach to therapy and utilize Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy primarily. Establishing a trusting relationship with you is high priority for me and will begin from the first visit. I believe in supporting one in their journey where they currently are and providing you a safe and supportive environment. I applaud you for taking the step to begin therapy and look forward to speaking with you. I will be by your side, working with you, to achieve your goals by providing you the tools you are seeking.
