Janet Jacobs , LPC

Janet Jacobs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 28 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and shifts in motivation or self-esteem by drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a strengths-focused perspective. Janet approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them identify and build on existing strengths while developing new coping skills to navigate life changes, grief, trauma, addiction, and a range of behavioral and emotional concerns.

She works with individuals and families on issues such as intimacy, parenting, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, offering practical strategies alongside empathic listening. Janet recognizes that beginning therapy can take courage and she affirms the step of reaching out, guiding clients through the initial steps and supporting progress at a pace that fits their needs. Her experience includes assisting clients with both common and complex challenges, always aiming to collaborate with clients to set realistic goals and foster meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Therapy

Janet Jacobs integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into online work, including skills-based, problem-focused approaches that help clients identify unhelpful patterns and learn practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. These approaches emphasize building coping skills, adjusting unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns, and strengthening day-to-day functioning. She also uses insight-oriented and relational methods that explore underlying patterns in relationships and self-concept to address issues like intimacy, attachment concerns, grief, and family dynamics, helping clients develop greater self-awareness and healthier connections.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Janet collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as needed so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Janet is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to continue therapy through life transitions or when in-person visits are not feasible.
