About Janet

Janet Ready is a bilingual therapist who practices in Colorado and brings 20 years of clinical experience to her work. She is licensed as an LMSW in Michigan and as an LCSW in Colorado, and she offers services in both English and Spanish. Janet focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, and relationship difficulties.

Her style is warm and communicative. She listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and practical, with time spent talking through problems and identifying steps that feel doable. Janet uses a mix of mindfulness, person-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Mindfulness helps people notice patterns of thought and feeling.

Person-centered work keeps the person’s goals and values at the center. Cognitive behavioral ideas help turn thoughts into changes in behavior and mood. She collaborates with clients to build a plan that fits their life.

That plan may include short-term goals, coping skills for overwhelming moments, and ways to manage mood swings or addictive behaviors. Janet adapts the pace to each person, offering more structure or more open conversation as needed. People who prefer a direct yet empathetic listener often find her approach helpful.

She supports parents managing stress, people shifting careers, and those wrestling with sleep, eating, or anger problems. Janet welcomes international clients and works with people who want therapy in English or Spanish.

How Janet Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Janet integrates mindfulness practices to help people become more aware of their thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness exercises are simple and can reduce reactivity during stressful moments, which helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood swings.

She also uses person-centered methods that keep the client's priorities in focus. That means conversations are guided by the client's goals and values, and Janet adjusts the pace and focus to what feels most useful. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behaviors and mood, which is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and some addictive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Janet works with each person to decide which techniques to try first and adjusts strategies as progress is made. The plan evolves based on the client's needs, goals, and feedback during sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let therapists and clients see facial cues and body language during conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, symptom tracking, and follow-up between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and tailored to daily routines.
