About Janette
Janette Hernandez, LMFT, uses a person-centered style to help people manage anxiety and everyday stress. She focuses on what matters to each person and supports them in taking small, practical steps. Janette draws on eight years of clinical experience in California to guide conversations and set realistic goals.
Her approach starts by listening closely to the person in front of her. She helps people name their main struggles, whether it is worry, mood shifts, relationship strain, or recovery from trauma.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative so people can try new ways of coping between visits. Janette blends several therapy methods to match a person’s needs. She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and test different actions.
Mindfulness practices are offered to build awareness and reduce reactivity. She also brings attachment-based ideas into the work to improve how people connect and communicate with others. Dialectical behavior elements are used when someone needs clearer emotion regulation skills and stronger distress tolerance.
Janette has worked with adults, youth, and families on a range of concerns from anxiety and depression to relationship and family problems. Her style is warm and direct, aiming to make therapy useful from the first few sessions. People who want a practical plan and steady support find her approach accessible and grounded.
How therapeutic approaches work in online care
Janette blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral techniques to support people in making concrete changes. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship so people feel understood and able to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and supports trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janette collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and life situation. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques based on what helps most in daily life and relationships.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth work and observing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow quick, ongoing contact between sessions and can help people practice skills in the moment. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other demands while keeping treatment consistent.
