Evidence-based approaches offered through online care
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach emphasizes skills for managing anxiety and stress such as breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to reduce worry. These techniques help people handle day-to-day symptoms and regain a sense of control.Another approach she uses supports processing grief and major life transitions by creating space to name losses, identify values, and find small routines that restore stability. This work is aimed at easing overwhelming feelings and helping people rebuild confidence in their choices.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. Janet will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they try approaches and adjust as needed so therapy fits the client's life and pace.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for a full session when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to work on stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes from different locations and schedules.
