Background and approach
Her work draws from client-centered approaches that focus on what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when intense emotions make day-to-day living harder.
Janet has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, caregiver stress, and work-related burnout. She addresses issues like sleep and eating concerns, intimacy and sexual problems, parenting strain, and career transitions. Her experience includes complex and overlapping problems such as co-morbidity and chronic illness.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and can be scheduled to fit different lifestyles. She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist work together to set goals and check progress. The first session focuses on what matters most now and plan practical next steps.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's own goals and experience, focusing conversations on what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets everyday thinking and behavior patterns and teaches clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for tolerating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when body language and a face-to-face feel help progress. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short check-ins, skill practice, or when a written exchange feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
