About Janet
Janet Crockett helps people cope with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, career stress, and life transitions. She also supports those facing eating concerns, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Janet practices in Maryland and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work.
She meets people where they are and treats them with respect and sensitivity. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. Janet tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
How Janet works
In the room she listens first and then helps identify small, workable changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and daily problems. Over time she helps people build confidence, improve coping skills, and manage mood or behavior patterns.
Janet has worked across settings over nine years and holds licenses as LCSW and LCSW-C. That background informs a pragmatic style that balances emotional support with actionable strategies. She keeps explanations plain and avoids clinical jargon.
People who come to Janet often want help moving past a difficult event, handling grief, improving self-worth, or managing stress at work. She supports parents with parenting concerns and offers coaching-style work for career questions. Her approach aims to make therapy feel useful from the early sessions onward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable progress. One common approach she applies is trauma-focused work that helps people process painful events and reduce overwhelming reactions. This work often involves gradual pacing and skill-building to manage strong emotions. Another strand of her practice targets mood and coping skills for conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD, teaching routines, behavioral strategies, and ways to track mood and triggers to reduce disruptions to daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something does not fit or is not helping the way expected.
Online therapy with Janet is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions let people see facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, family life, and changing schedules.
