Janisse Rothford, LCPC, LPCC

Janisse Rothford is a licensed clinician who uses clear, practical approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and relationship struggles. She holds licensure as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and brings a direct, respectful style to sessions.

Clients can expect conversations focused on their immediate concerns and on goals they can use between meetings. Janisse adapts plans to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Her background includes a decade of professional experience across counseling roles. That time includes work supporting military families, which shaped an ability to listen under pressure and to tackle practical problems alongside emotional ones. Janisse combines that experience with tools from mindfulness and interpersonal methods.

In sessions she balances skill-building with supportive listening. People learn simple techniques for managing strong emotions, communicating more clearly, and handling loss or life transitions. The focus is on what works for daily life, not on jargon.

Sessions are offered in English from Nevada and use a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Janisse aims to help people take manageable steps toward feeling steadier, more connected, and more confident in their choices.

How Janisse’s approaches work online

Janisse uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that lead to stress and to teach straightforward skills for changing behavior and mood. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems that respond to practical strategies.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where a person decides the pace and focus of work. That approach helps people feel heard and build confidence in their own choices. Janisse blends elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when teaching emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills during times of strong feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what fits. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping the client reach their goals.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on skills between sessions.
