About Janet
Her general approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy with a strong, client-centered therapeutic relationship. She commonly works with individuals coping with depression, anxiety, major life changes, questions of faith, relationship struggles, sexual identity concerns, and sexual addiction issues, while also addressing a broader set of challenges such as stress, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and caregiver strain. Clients say she is easy to relate to and supportive even when addressing difficult topics.
In addition to clinical practice, Dr. Dean teaches psychology at the college level and mentors graduate students preparing to become counselors. Her academic work includes research on sexual identity and faith, counselor self-care, and the intersections of faith and mental health; she and her research team have published multiple articles and a book and have presented and provided training nationally. Her aim is to help clients find greater freedom, peace, and joy by fostering self-acceptance, strengthening relationships, and clarifying life purpose, and she considers it an honor to accompany people on that journey.
Client-centered and CBT approaches for online care
Dr. Janet Dean uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as primary approaches in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration; it focuses on understanding each person's experience, building trust, and supporting personal growth, which can be especially helpful for issues like relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Dean works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider practical goals, coping strategies, and the pace of work so the plan aligns with each person's situation.
Online therapy with Dr. Dean is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods, and they allow clients to access licensed professionals from their own communities while working on the issues most important to them.
