Her practice focuses on common life challenges including stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and loss, anger management, and rebuilding self-esteem.

Janisse integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs, matching intervention style and pace to the presenting concern.

Known for a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate manner, she prioritizes collaborative planning so that therapy aligns with an individual’s goals and values. Janisse adapts sessions to the unique circumstances of each client, helping people develop practical skills and new perspectives that support healthier relationships and improved emotional functioning. She encourages prospective clients to take the first step toward change and offers a welcoming space to begin that work.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Janisse uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is useful for building self-esteem, clarifying values, and addressing life transitions.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, often benefiting people coping with anxiety, stress, and anger by teaching tools for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is included when clients need focused work on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT combines skills training with a balance of acceptance and change, which can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janisse will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and location. These options let clients access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they make it easier to continue therapy when life circumstances change.
