Janet Dove, LMFT

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Janet aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult moments and start to make practical changes.

She uses clear, straightforward methods to build skills and increase insight. Sessions often center on identifying patterns that cause distress and trying small steps that can shift daily life. Janet emphasizes empathy and steady support while people practice new ways of responding to problems.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with attachment-focused and client-centered methods. These tools are used to address issues like relationship strain, addictive behaviors, sleep and eating difficulties, and coping with life changes. Aging and geriatric issues are included among the areas she pays attention to.

Janet seeks to help people develop stronger self-knowledge and confidence. She talks with clients about realistic goals and practical techniques they can use between sessions. This makes therapy feel more like a skill-building process than a series of abstract conversations.

She values a trusting relationship and aims to make people feel heard and understood. If someone wants to explore options or needs help deciding where to start, Janet supports that first step and helps plan a path forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current trust and connection, and it helps people build safer ways of relating to others.

Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan so the work fits the person rather than forcing a specific technique.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or caregiving duties. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when only a brief update is needed, or allow a person to choose a quieter setting or lower-bandwidth option when that helps them engage.
