Remote sessions with structured, collaborative techniques



Janet uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical steps for change. She pairs this with dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in a straightforward way. Her client-centered stance guides the pace and focus of each session so that plans reflect the individual’s goals.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven into her online work to support present-moment awareness and to strengthen motivation for change. These approaches are presented in everyday language and applied to the challenges the person brings to sessions. Janet offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect, and she discusses together which format fits best for the client’s needs.
