Approaches that guide online sessions

Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make practical changes. One common approach she draws on focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing small, measurable changes. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing daily stress.

Another approach emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. In sessions people learn straightforward tools for coping with grief, relationship strain, caregiver stress, and issues linked to aging and chronic illness. These tools are practiced in real life and reviewed in later meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet works with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She starts with clear, short-term goals and adapts the plan as progress is made or challenges arise.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with Janet about how sessions can be arranged to fit your routine and needs.
