Background and approach

She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and relationship struggles. Phobias and social anxiety are additional areas she addresses.
Janet also supports people dealing with ADHD, body image, commitment and communication problems, and multicultural concerns. She has experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and young adult matters. She brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled to match each person’s needs. Janet encourages small steps and collaborative planning so progress feels manageable. She welcomes people who want a steady, thoughtful guide through life’s challenges.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Janet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps and clear goals. One approach involves helping people learn coping skills for anxiety and stress through gradual exposure to feared situations and building everyday routines. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationships by identifying patterns and practicing new ways of relating in sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face when a longer conversation or visual cues are useful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to share brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or fit short sessions into a busy day. These options help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
