Janet Hardy, LPC

Janet Hardy, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), provides telemental health counseling to adults addressing a wide range of concerns, including parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with young adults, parents, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, bringing a respectful and affirming approach to each person she meets.

Janet views human experience as the product of many interacting influences - environment, learned behaviors, values, biology, development, culture, systems, and personal narrative. For that reason she uses an integrated approach that considers these multiple factors when helping clients understand and work through problems. This perspective guides how she combines therapeutic tools to fit each person rather than applying a single method to every situation.

Therapy with Janet begins by building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients are invited to explore emotions and vulnerabilities at their own pace. She emphasizes a person-centered approach grounded in empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard, and collaborates with clients to set and reach meaningful goals. Janet draws on her training and experience to tailor interventions to individual needs while maintaining a warm, professional stance.

She looks forward to supporting people through life transitions and challenges. Please note that proof of identity and emergency contact information will be required before services can begin.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Janet uses several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online setting. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape connection patterns and emotional responses, and it can be helpful for people dealing with attachment issues, relationship struggles, or disruptions related to adoption and foster care. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals, creating a respectful space for self-exploration and decision making that is useful for many concerns such as stress, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and coping skills for everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet collaborates with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors the combination of methods so the work feels relevant and manageable. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with the client’s values and pace.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across changing circumstances while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to clients’ growth.
