Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Janet commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel understood and can explore their values and goals; it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and provide practical coping skills.

Janet also integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when clients need concrete skills for emotional regulation and managing intense reactions. She works with each person to determine which combination of approaches fits best, making that decision collaboratively based on the client s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Janet uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose a format that feels most comfortable for engaging in therapy with a licensed professional.
