How Janet’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and helps the therapist tailor support to what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan over time so it fits everyday needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that match your schedule. Some formats are lighter touch and good for brief coaching, while others support deeper weekly work; talk with Janet about what fits your routine and energy level.
