Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and coping strategies. These structured approaches help people identify unhelpful patterns, develop more effective ways of managing stress and anxiety, and build problemsolving tools for everyday challenges.

She also integrates trauma-informed, strengths-focused work to help individuals process painful experiences and restore a sense of safety and resilience. This approach pays attention to a person’s history while emphasizing resources and coping skills that support healing and functional improvement.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Janet works with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set priorities, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within the state.
