About Janet
Janet Eddy is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 11 years of experience based in Missouri. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She also supports those coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem, and big life changes.
Janet aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental. She creates space for clients to talk about difficult thoughts and emotions. Her manner is straightforward and calm, focusing on practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
In therapy she uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep the conversation grounded in what matters to each person. For trauma and distress she can use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate.
Janet works with a wide range of concerns including panic, bipolar mood challenges, caregiver stress, isolation, and career-related strain. She pays attention to issues such as body image, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice-related worries. Her goal is to help clients find manageable ways to cope and move forward.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in formats that match clients’ needs. The process begins with a short questionnaire to help match people to the right therapist and schedule sessions that fit their lives.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that feed anxiety and depression, and then practicing new behaviors to reduce distress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is an approach used for trauma-related memories and intense distress by processing upsetting experiences in a structured way.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together you will try methods that match those needs and adjust them over time so the work fits your pace and priorities.
Online therapy with Janet is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow deeper conversational work and use of visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter space is needed. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins or coaching-style support possible between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
