Evidence-based approaches for stress, grief, and life transitions

Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that include cognitive and behavioral strategies to explore how thoughts and actions influence emotions and daily functioning. These approaches help people develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new coping behaviors.

She also emphasizes skills-focused coping and problem-solving methods aimed at improving resilience during grief, loss, and major life changes. These techniques offer step-by-step tools to process emotions, rebuild routines, and strengthen a sense of purpose when navigating transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Janet collaborates with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods so the work feels relevant and manageable. Together the therapist and client decide which techniques best fit the client’s preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy with Janet is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage in care. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around daily responsibilities and to maintain continuity of support during times of change.
