Janett Lopez-Inayama, LCSW

Janett Lopez-Inayama is a licensed therapist in California with 13 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and loss. She also works with issues related to motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Janett approaches each person as the expert of their own story and seeks to build on the strengths they already possess to address what feels most challenging.

Beginning therapy is often a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life, and Janett emphasizes support, collaboration, and practical strategies throughout that process. As an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she combines clinical training with real-world experience to offer compassionate guidance and tools for coping, healing, and growth. Janett aims to create a space where clients can explore goals, practice new skills, and move toward greater well-being at a pace that feels right for them.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Janett uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and personal strengths. One common approach she applies is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms - this involves learning tools to manage intense emotions, reduce worry, and improve day-to-day functioning. She also offers grief-focused and supportive work to help people process loss, mourn, and rebuild meaning after difficult events, using attentive listening and guided reflection to move through stages of adjustment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Janett takes a collaborative stance. She works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapts techniques to fit those needs so the treatment plan evolves together.

Online therapy with Janett is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to maintain continuity of care even when in-person visits are not possible, while working with licensed professionals committed to supportive, evidence-informed treatment.
