About Janette
She draws on a mix of client-centered and solution-focused ideas to shape sessions around each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when thoughts and behaviors are a clear part of the problem. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing may also be introduced when those methods fit a client's goals.
Janette makes space for people to describe what’s hard without judgment. She works on concrete skills like problem solving, mood regulation, and behavior changes. For parents or caregivers, she addresses stress, sleep, and parenting strains by focusing on realistic strategies that fit busy schedules.
Her practice also includes support for grief, trauma-related concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and attention-related issues such as ADHD. She helps with career stress, workplace issues, money-related anxiety, and obsessive or compulsive patterns through targeted interventions.
With ten years of experience, Janette adapts the pace and tools to each person’s situation. The emphasis stays on collaboration and on building practical coping skills that help people move forward.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and respected; it helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to work through change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, or address panic and obsessive patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and clear goals to move forward quickly with what matters most to the client.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change, so sessions may blend techniques to match progress and challenges.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid video when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio session works better. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.
