Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to find their own reasons to change. Solution-focused techniques support setting short-term goals and noticing progress quickly.
In sessions Janae pays attention to relationships, attachment patterns, and how work or caregiving stress affects mood. She also addresses body image, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, social anxiety, and women’s issues in practical ways people can use between sessions. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person.
Janae helps clients build coping skills, strengthen self-love, and work toward clearer priorities. People often leave with small tools they can use right away and a clearer sense of next steps.
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel respected and supported while they describe their challenges and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches simple skills to reduce anxious or low mood reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
