Her work is collaborative - she and the client decide which strategies to try and adjust them as needed. Janae draws on five years of clinical experience and frames progress as gradual, practical change rather than instant fixes.
People who choose her often want direction that fits their day-to-day life. She aims to help them find more balance, stronger coping skills, and clearer purpose while navigating career and personal transitions.
How Janae’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps people make sense of their feelings so they can decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day mood or work stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janae will work with each client to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. She treats the choice as collaborative and will adjust methods based on what helps most over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caregiving demands. It can also make shorter check-ins or focused skills practice more practical when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT tasks and client-centered conversations to an online setting so people can keep making steady progress.
