She offers experienced, compassionate care for people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family and relationship concerns, and a wide range of related issues including grief, addiction, caregiving strain, and career challenges.

Janet combines evidence-based approaches with a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person's values and goals. Her work includes support for couples, parenting and blended family dynamics, attachment and abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related difficulties. She also brings experience addressing ADHD, bipolar-related concerns, eating and sleeping issues, and the emotional impacts of chronic illness or caregiving responsibilities.

Fully bilingual in English and Spanish, Janet works collaboratively with individuals and families to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for exploring emotions and building practical coping skills. She supports clients through life transitions, recovery from trauma, and the daily challenges that affect wellbeing, helping them move toward more satisfying and resilient lives.

Combining therapeutic approaches with online care

Janet frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful and empathic relationship that helps clients clarify values and make personal choices. This approach supports people facing life transitions, relationship concerns, and the emotional fallout from trauma.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a skills-based method that helps identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. For clients who struggle with intense emotions or impulsive reactions, Janet incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors therapeutic strategies so the work feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Janet can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and fit meaningful therapeutic work into everyday life.
