Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Janet Kuykendall

Janet integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people explore their own goals and values so they feel heard and supported while making change. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused awareness and coping techniques that help calm the mind and improve emotional regulation during times of intense feeling or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janet takes a collaborative stance in tailoring methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She partners with clients to decide which strategies fit best and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Janet is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that best supports ongoing progress and accessibility.
