She also helps people navigate family-related topics such as blended family concerns, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and divorce or separation.

Janet conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. She encourages people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.
How evidence-based care fits into online therapy
Many people benefit from approaches that use clear, evidence-based techniques. One common way Janet works is by helping clients identify patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then testing small behavioral changes to see what helps. This approach is useful for worry, sleep problems, and motivation struggles.Another helpful method focuses on coping skills for strong emotions and relationship strain. That work includes building better communication habits, setting realistic goals, and practicing grounding or pacing strategies to reduce overwhelm. These tools are often useful for grief, trauma-related symptoms, and addiction-related difficulties.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which methods best match the person's goals, needs, and preferences, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer travel demands, and the option to fit brief check-ins into busy days.
