Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small, practical steps toward them. Client-centered work emphasizes the person's perspective and what matters most to them.

She combines tools from these approaches to address grief, panic, and relationship or communication problems.

How Janet uses structured approaches in online sessions
Janet commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical alternatives. CBT sessions focus on noticing thoughts, testing them, and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. ACT emphasizes small, value-driven steps and building psychological flexibility rather than eliminating difficult emotions.
Client-centered techniques are used to listen closely to what matters most to the person and shape goals around their priorities. Together these approaches can address stress, grief, panic, motivation, and trauma-related concerns in a way that is collaborative and goal-focused.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and will help decide which methods to try first. This is a joint process that can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and worksheets to suit remote sessions so practical skills can be practiced between meetings.
