Janet Hardy , LPC

Janet Hardy (she/her) is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who provides telemental health counseling to adults, working especially with young adults, parents, and members of the LGBT community on concerns such as parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

She understands that human experience is shaped by many intersecting factors. Challenges often arise from a mix of environment, learned behaviors, values, biology, society, development, chemistry, culture, systems, and an individual personal narrative. That perspective leads her to favor an integrated approach that considers multiple influences rather than a single cause.

Therapy with Janet begins by building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients can safely explore emotions and vulnerabilities. She uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard to support each person she works with. Therapy is approached collaboratively, with therapist and client working together to identify goals and chart a path toward them.

LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential indicating professional training to provide counseling services. Proof of identity and emergency contact information will be required before services can begin. She looks forward to working with you.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Janet Hardy

Janet draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and emotional regulation. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or recurring relationship difficulties by looking at attachment styles and how they shape present-day behavior.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a strengths-focused method that emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth. That approach is often helpful for individuals seeking a supportive space to process identity, life transitions, or emotional challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching skills for coping and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to access support from home or another convenient location. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
