Janeen Savini, LPC

Janeen Savini is a licensed mental health professional based in Connecticut with a decade of clinical experience supporting adults through life transitions, relationship challenges, and anxiety. She holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC. In addition, she is a National Certified Counselor - NCC, a Life and Health and Wellness Coach, and has completed EMDR training through the EMDR Institute. These qualifications inform a flexible, strengths-based practice focused on helping people move forward.

Her approach centers on collaboration and respect for each person’s story. Drawing from client-centered, trauma-informed, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral methods, she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, build practical coping skills, and set realistic goals. She also integrates positive psychology and narrative techniques to boost self-esteem, clarify values, and support meaningful change. Her EMDR training adds an additional option for working with trauma-related symptoms when appropriate.

Known for attentive listening and genuine curiosity about each individual, she aims to create a trusting environment where difficult emotions can be explored and new skills practiced. Whether addressing grief, parenting stress, relationship difficulties, workplace concerns, or coping with life changes, she works with clients to increase agency, reduce distress, and cultivate a more fulfilling day-to-day life.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Janeen integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify personal values and take committed steps toward a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in relationships that develop from early connections and helps rebuild more secure ways of relating; it is often helpful for relationship difficulties, trust issues, and family conflict.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is done collaboratively. Janeen partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the client.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and reach people where they are. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate varying energy levels, and provide multiple ways to practice skills between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
