About Janeen
Janeen Mongar is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. She keeps the first meetings simple and focused on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Her style is direct and warm, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things.
She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
Background and approach
Conversations center on practical steps people can try between sessions. Janeen emphasizes building skills for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and coping with life changes. Over 17 years of practice she has worked with a broad range of issues including depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
She also addresses condition-specific concerns like panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, postpartum depression, and traumatic brain injury. Her background includes helping people process loss, guilt, shame, and the effects of disaster or military-related stress. Janeen uses several approaches to guide work in therapy.
She blends acceptance and commitment strategies with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral tools. Dialectical techniques and emotion-focused moments are added when they fit the problem at hand. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and everyday skills.
Janeen supports people as they practice new ways of thinking and coping, and she helps them adjust the plan if something isn’t working. The aim is steady, manageable change over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and taking actions that match personal values. Online ACT sessions often include short exercises and homework to build willingness and purpose in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT via video or messaging can include worksheets, thought records, and real-time problem-solving during sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and use that awareness to shift how they relate to themselves and others; online EFT can guide emotional awareness and practice between appointments.Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or journaling-style work possible between meetings. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
