How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and choices. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building confidence and working through relationship and family concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, addictions, and coping with life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy adds attention and grounding skills that reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term goals and adjust methods based on what helps most during early sessions.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling. It also makes shorter check-ins and workday appointments more practical for people balancing caregiving or jobs.
