Janeen Mongar, LPC

Janeen Mongar is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles. She speaks plainly and offers a calm, steady presence to people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she focuses on practical ways forward that fit each person's life.

In sessions she creates a nonjudgmental space for talking through difficult thoughts and emotions. She listens, reflects, and works with clients to set clear, realistic goals. Conversations often include skill-building to manage strong feelings and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.

Janeen uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift thoughts that contribute to distress. She also draws from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice values and take meaningful steps. Her client-centered stance keeps the person's experience and choices at the center of the work.

Over 17 years she has supported people dealing with depression, grief, addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also addresses anxiety-related issues like panic, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and PTSD symptoms following trauma.

Janeen works with individuals facing life changes, compassion fatigue, disaster-related stress, and veteran or armed forces issues. Her Colorado licensure is LPC, and she conducts work in English to help people regain balance and cope with everyday challenges.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Janeen uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that translate well to online formats. Acceptance and commitment therapy is used to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT pairs well with online sessions by guiding short experiential practices and values-based planning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janeen will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily routines. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and skill coaching, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat supports quicker check-ins, and text messaging helps people maintain steady contact between sessions. These options make it simpler to get consistent care around work, family, or other commitments.
