I am Dr. Jan Ligon, a licensed therapist (LCSW) for 33 years (MSW, PhD, University of Georgia). I work exclusively with couples (joint sessions with both people present). My approaches include cognitive behavioral (CBT), motivational (MET), as well as task and solutions-focused methods. While it is possible for people to develop insight into their issues and concerns, my focus is on acknowledging the past while concurrently looking to the future. This can best be accomplished by developing goals that help move couples forward more quickly. I view this process as a partnership between the couple and the therapist - a team approach. Please note that I do not have evening or weekend appointments, but both people can be in different locations for joint sessions.
Additional areas of focus: Grief, Aging and geriatric issues, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Family problems, Guilt and shame, Infidelity, Midlife crisis, Money and financial issues, Visually impaired, Workplace issues
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy
