Therapeutic approaches and online support
Janet uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people explore values, build self-awareness, and strengthen their own problem-solving resources. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is another element in her practice, teaching gentle attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janet works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adapted over time so therapy feels relevant and actionable for everyday life.
Online therapy offers flexibility across video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to access licensed professionals from home or between responsibilities. These options make scheduling easier, allow continuity of care during life changes, and support consistent progress by fitting therapy into a busy life.
