Depression

Jan Stone, a licensed New Mexico clinical counselor, offers specialized telehealth counseling for clients living with depression, using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model to guide healing from the inside out. Depression is often the result of inner parts carrying emotional burdens—such as shame, hopelessness, or a sense of unworthiness—developed in response to past pain or unmet needs. Jan helps clients across Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces identify these parts with compassion, fostering an internal environment where healing is possible. Her work has become a trusted resource in the field of New Mexico mental health, providing tailored support through telehealth.

Through the IFS framework, Jan works with clients to explore the protective strategies and exiled emotions that often drive depressive symptoms. For example, one part may appear numb or disconnected, while another may harshly criticize or judge. Rather than viewing these experiences as flaws, Jan helps clients understand that these parts have been trying to help in the only ways they knew how—often since early in life. As an experienced Albuquerque counselor and telehealth therapist, she offers a safe and steady space for clients to meet these parts with empathy, allowing for unburdening and integration over time.

For many dealing with depression, initiating therapy can be difficult. Jan’s telehealth counseling services provide flexible access to care, eliminating the need for travel and allowing clients to engage from the comfort of home. This flexibility is especially helpful for those in Albuquerque, Las Cruces, or Santa Fe who may struggle with motivation, energy, or isolation. As both an Albuquerque therapist and Las Cruces therapist, Jan ensures her virtual sessions offer consistent, grounded support that meets clients where they are.

Jan Stone’s IFS-based telehealth therapy empowers clients to reconnect with their core Self—a place of calm, clarity, and compassion—and gradually shift the internal systems that contribute to depression. Her thoughtful, non-pathologizing approach resonates deeply with those looking for more than quick fixes. By addressing the emotional roots of depression through a gentle and integrative method, Jan contributes meaningfully to the wellbeing of clients across the Albuquerque mental health, Santa Fe mental health, and Las Cruces mental health communities.
