About Jan

Dr. Jan Capaccioli welcomes people who are struggling with difficult patterns around eating, relationships, or substance use. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience and uses a respectful, down-to-earth approach. She aims to help people feel heard and begin practical changes that matter in daily life.

Dr. Capaccioli works with concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She also helps with body image, eating and food-related issues, and the fallout of intense shame or isolation. Her work focuses on understanding what keeps a problem going and finding concrete steps to reduce its hold.

Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s needs and goals. She listens first, then offers tools and a plan that feel doable. That might mean learning new ways to respond in relationships, building coping skills for intense feelings, or addressing patterns that fuel eating or substance use.

Her practice is grounded in long experience across different settings. Dr. Capaccioli emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while encouraging honest self-reflection and steady progress. She aims to make the work practical, straightforward, and focused on what will help most in everyday life.

If you are ready to look for changes, she supports people through the early steps and the harder middle work. The goal is clearer thinking, more reliable coping, and a better sense of control over behavior and mood.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Dr. Capaccioli uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-life skills and behavior change. One common approach centers on identifying patterns that keep problems going and replacing them with new, practical responses; this helps with addictions, compulsive eating, and repeated relationship problems. Another approach emphasizes building emotional coping skills to manage intense feelings like grief, anger, or shame and to reduce the drive toward harmful behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, strengths, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, see what works, and adjust the plan over time so it fits the client’s life and needs.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other commitments. It also supports continuity of care when schedules or locations change, while the therapist and client work together to adapt techniques for remote sessions.
