Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to address unhelpful thinking and patterns. When emotions feel overwhelming, skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy can help with regulation and tolerating distress.
Janet is bilingual in English and Spanish, so she can speak with clients in the language they prefer. She supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, career transitions, sleep and eating problems, ADHD concerns, and many other life challenges. In sessions she aims to build trust quickly and offer straightforward strategies you can try between meetings.
Janet encourages collaboration about goals and treatment steps, and adapts her style to meet each person where they are. To begin, clients are guided through a short intake and matching process, then schedule sessions that suit their needs and routines.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and changing emotional patterns that affect close relationships. Online sessions using EFT help people notice and name feelings, and then practice new ways of relating with partners or themselves. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood; it creates space for a client to set the pace and bring up what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed remotely.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, comfort with different methods, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to be shorter. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while keeping continuity of care.
