About Janisse
Janisse Rothford offers a warm, client-centered approach to therapy. She uses practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. Janisse is licensed in both Nevada and California as an LCPC and an LPCC, and she brings a decade of professional experience to her work.
She focuses on clear, usable skills rather than jargon. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs, with short-term strategies and longer-term tools mixed as needed.
How Janisse works
She pays attention to communication problems, family-related concerns, feelings of isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness practices support calmer attention and less reactivity. Elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the Gottman Method may be used to strengthen emotional regulation and improve relationship interactions. Janisse aims for straightforward sessions that teach skills people can use between meetings.
She works with people exploring midlife changes, self-love, and women’s issues as part of broader personal work. Sessions are arranged around what a person needs and how they prefer to engage. Beginning therapy starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.
Janisse frames therapy as a collaborative process and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person needs; online sessions use this approach to shape conversations and goals around the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps and short exercises that can be practiced between video or phone sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be taught and rehearsed through live calls or messaging.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning makes it easier to move from problem identification to useful skill-building.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while focusing on strategies for stress, relationships, grief, and emotional regulation.
