Janee Anez is a Minnesota-licensed clinician with 18 years of professional experience helping people navigate difficult emotions and life transitions. As a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker), she brings clinical social work expertise to supporting those dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, and other major life changes. Janee emphasizes practical coping skills alongside emotional processing to help clients manage day-to-day challenges and pursue meaningful change.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and she aims to provide steady, compassionate support throughout that process. Janee works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and strategies that fit their situation and values.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and growth

Janee draws from several evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression, helping people develop practical skills for daily coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance strategies that can reduce reactivity to difficult emotions and improve emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people clarify their values and build internal motivation to make lasting changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Janee works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that process. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from different locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver effective treatment while adapting pace and tools to each individual's situation.
