Background and approach

She focuses on small, doable steps that make daily life more manageable. Her approach draws on methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also uses mindfulness tools to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Motivational strategies are part of the work when someone wants to make specific life changes. Janee has spent nearly two decades working with adults on issues such as mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and the stresses of caregiving. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care concerns, aging-related stress, chronic illness, and family of origin issues.

Sessions are offered from Minnesota and are conducted in English. She explains options clearly and helps people choose practical exercises to try between meetings. Many people come for help with coping skills, clearer communication, and restoring a sense of purpose.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Janee aims to make the process easier by listening, offering straightforward tools, and working at a pace that fits each person.

How Janee’s Approaches Work Online

Janee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into workable steps and practices.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people become less reactive to strong emotions. Mindfulness offers simple exercises that bring attention to the present moment and reduce rumination and overwhelm.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Janee will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is working and what is not.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrating exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between appointments with brief messages or written exercises.
