Focus areas and approaches

Everything Janet lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Janet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common method helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and depression by teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. This approach is useful for daily stress and mood problems.

Another approach emphasizes working through grief and life changes with structured conversations and step-by-step tasks. It helps people acknowledge loss, organize memories, and slowly re-engage with valued activities. These techniques often assist those facing illness, chronic pain, or major life shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way people can find an approach that fits their needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging allows brief check-ins or slower-paced reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
