Since obtaining her clinical social work license in 2021, she has worked as a therapist for five years with a range of stress-related concerns.

Her credentials include MD and LCSW-C. LCSW-C stands for Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical, a credential indicating advanced clinical social work training and licensure. Janay uses empathetic listening, guided practice, collaboration, and strengths-based methods to support clients as they develop new skills and insights.

She aims to create an accepting, supportive environment where clients can build confidence in their ability to make and sustain positive changes.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Janay often draws on strengths-based work, which focuses on identifying and building the client’s existing resources and abilities to support change. This approach helps people reduce stress, boost self-esteem, and make practical progress toward life goals.

She also uses guided practice and skill-building techniques that help clients learn and rehearse new ways of communicating, managing anxiety, and handling relationship challenges. These hands-on strategies make it easier to apply what is learned in session to everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janay works collaboratively with each client to tailor techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for clients balancing busy schedules or caring responsibilities. Services via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to choose the format that fits their comfort and availability. This variety supports consistent engagement and makes it easier to work toward meaningful change with a licensed professional.
