How Janet’s Approaches Work Online

Janet uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people spot thoughts and habits that keep problems going. CBT typically involves setting small goals, trying new behaviors, and tracking what works to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful patterns. She also uses client-centered therapy which prioritizes the person's own perspective and pace, offering listening and reflection so goals emerge from what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients choose between CBT, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, or a mix based on goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts strategies as needs change so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session when visual connection helps. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking progress between sessions, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like CBT and mindfulness in everyday moments.
