About Janet

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stressful life changes. She aims to make starting therapy less daunting and creates a calm space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Her approach is direct and encouraging, and she helps people build skills for everyday life.

Janet emphasizes clear communication and steady listening. She works with concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career transitions, addiction, relationship and intimacy questions, and parenting strain. She also addresses struggles such as body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and difficulty coping after loss or upheaval.

Her work blends several approaches so therapy fits the person, not the other way around. Janet uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas shape how she builds trust in sessions.

Janet brings six years of clinical experience to her practice in Florida. She helps people practice new ways of responding to old patterns, manage overwhelming feelings, and learn tools that can be used between sessions. Her goal is to help clients gain confidence and a clearer sense of direction.

People who choose her often want practical strategies paired with honest support. Janet encourages small, steady changes and focuses on building skills that fit a client’s life and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and values and then taking small steps toward the life someone wants. It can help with anxiety, depression, and decisions during big life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, worry, sleep problems, and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions include discussion, simple exercises, and skills to try between meetings so people can see what helps in daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to arrange appointments that suit work, family, and daily routines.
