Remote counseling tailored to collaborative growth
Janis uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work in ways that emphasize choice and present-moment values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them, notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and build small, values-driven steps toward a meaningful life. In an online setting she frames ACT exercises as practical, moment-to-moment practices that can be applied between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are also part of her toolkit. Attachment-Based work explores patterns in relationships and supports understanding of relational responses, while DBT offers skill-focused strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches can be blended with a client-centered stance that keeps the persons own goals and expertise central to the process.
Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to connect. Janis aims to collaborate with people who want a balance of skills training, values exploration, and attention to relationship patterns.
