About Janet
Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor who brings over a decade of clinical experience to her work in Florida. She holds the LMHC credential and the LCPC credential and focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people take manageable steps forward.
She believes each person knows their own story and strengths. Sessions start by listening so she can understand what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
From there she helps set clear, achievable goals and works side-by-side as clients try new skills and strategies. Janet uses approaches that match real-life needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow the client's lead and on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns.
Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are used when people want practical ways to manage stress or boost motivation. In session she focuses on simple tools people can use right away. That might mean short behavioral experiments between meetings, new ways to handle tense conversations, or breathing and grounding practices to calm the body.
She keeps language plain and steps small so progress feels doable. People often come for help with relationships, parenting strain, grief, trauma, addictions, or career stress. Janet can also support those navigating bipolar symptoms, anger, and issues tied to adoption, caregiving, or blended family dynamics.
Her approach aims to empower clients to move toward clearer choices and steadier days.
How Janet's Approaches Work Online
Janet often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques when meeting online. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps people name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see if they help with mood and daily functioning.She also brings mindfulness practices into online sessions to teach simple grounding and breathing exercises that can reduce stress and improve focus. These methods are practical and easy to try between meetings, which helps people notice real changes in day-to-day life. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which strategies to try first and how to adjust them over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video calls allow fuller interaction and nonverbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during busy days, and chat or messaging options work for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. This flexibility helps people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
