Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Janea draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, accept difficult feelings without avoidance, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals - an approach that often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and a nonjudgmental space that supports self-discovery and strengthens self-worth, which can be useful for relationship concerns, grief, and identity-related work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, focusing on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and building practical skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janea works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations while using the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
