Janet Siegel , LMFT

Janet Siegel is a California-licensed LMFT with ten years of professional experience, much of which was spent working in school-based settings. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), she combines training in relational dynamics with practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, family conflict, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit the individual needs and goals of each client.

Janet is also trained in art therapy and offers creative methods when appropriate, using artistic expression as another avenue to explore emotions, build insight, and practice coping skills. Her background in schools gives her experience collaborating with young people and families, while her work addresses a broad range of concerns from relationship and parenting issues to trauma, grief, and life transitions. Beginning therapy can take courage and she honors that step, providing steady, collaborative support as clients work toward clearer goals and more effective ways of coping.

Art-Informed and Evidence-Based Online Therapy

Janet blends art therapy with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to create practical, accessible online care. Art therapy uses creative activities to help clients express feelings that can be hard to put into words and to explore patterns in a tangible way; it can be especially useful for processing emotions, building insight, and developing new coping skills.

She also uses family-focused approaches that attend to relationships and communication within households, helping people address conflicts, parenting challenges, and relational stressors. In addition, she applies skills-based, evidence-informed strategies that teach concrete coping tools for managing anxiety, improving motivation, and supporting self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients can expect shared decision making and adjustments over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, balance therapy with daily life, and access licensed professionals from the places where clients spend their time.
