About Janette
Janette Hernandez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She uses a client-centered approach that puts the person’s experience first. Janette draws on eight years of clinical work to help people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and life transitions.
She meets people where they are and builds a collaborative plan. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on making sense of patterns that cause pain.
How Janette works
Janette combines talk-based work with skill-building so people leave with concrete tools they can use between sessions. Her background includes work with adults and youth around trauma, depression, and interpersonal problems. That experience informs how she tailors treatment to each person’s situation and goals.
Janette pays attention to attachment and communication dynamics that affect closeness and trust. Therapeutic methods she uses include attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance. She adapts these approaches to match what each person needs in the moment.
This blend supports coping, reduces distress, and strengthens emotional skills. People often come for help with things like addiction, body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, family of origin concerns, loneliness, and shame. Janette aims to create a steady, practical path forward and to help people rebuild confidence and connection.

How Janette's Approaches Work Online
Janette combines attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past connections affect current bonds. That approach is useful for intimacy concerns, abandonment feelings, and family of origin issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or multitasking is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and quick problem-solving between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
