How Janet works
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness tools are part of her work when emotions and relationships need attention. Her early career in special education informs how she supports people with ADHD, autism spectrum traits, learning differences, and physical disability. She has long experience helping people navigate chronic illness, including autoimmune conditions, and the unique stress those health issues bring.
Janet also has experience with substance use and long-term recovery, grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, and eating or sleeping problems. She helps people coping with major life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue, and feelings of emptiness or low self-esteem. Sessions are conversational and tailored to each person's needs.
Janet combines practical strategies, breathing and mindfulness exercises, and clear behavior-focused steps. She works with adults and teens aged 14 and up and sees clients from North Carolina by remote methods.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janet uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus sessions on each person's priorities. This approach means the therapist listens first and follows the client's lead, helping people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practical homework to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods as needs and goals change. That teamwork helps shape a plan that balances emotional support with hands-on tools for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in fits a busy schedule. Chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coping strategies, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
