Janet Dove, LMFT

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and the ripple effects of life changes. Janet encourages each person’s first step and recognizes that starting therapy takes courage.

She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people build skills and greater self-understanding. Sessions focus on everyday problems like motivation, relationships, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with loss. Janet also addresses challenges tied to addiction, trauma, anger, compassion fatigue, and work or career strain.

Janet draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based thinking, client-centered work, and existential perspectives. In conversation she helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and connect choices to personal values. The tone is supportive and goal-oriented rather than purely academic.

With six years of experience, she aims to help people grow confidence and lasting wellness. Her work often includes practical tools for managing strong emotions and improving communication. Janet emphasizes forming a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood.

People who want clear, compassionate guidance around life transitions, relationship strain, or recovery-related concerns may find her style helpful. She invites prospective clients to take the next step when they feel ready.

How Janet's Approaches Work in Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and build small, workable steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, life changes, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. It often helps with anxiety, sleep or eating concerns, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people change interactions that cause pain or distance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, life demands, and what feels comfortable. That decision can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time, and check in during a lunch break or between responsibilities. It can also allow for a shorter focused session when that better matches a day. The therapist will discuss scheduling and practical details so sessions work with everyday routines rather than disrupt them.
