Janet Caldwell , LMHC

Janet Larsen Caldwell is a licensed mental health counselor who works with adults and families to address relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and the stresses that accompany daily life. She helps clients who are questioning their connections with their children or partners, struggling to balance work and home responsibilities, or feeling burdened by anxiety, depression, stress, or loneliness. Rather than assigning labels, she focuses on the practical changes people can make to better meet their needs and improve interactions with the important people in their lives.

Janet recognizes that personality and cultural background can shape how people relate to others and may stand in the way of greater satisfaction. In a welcoming, nonjudgmental setting she invites clients to explore the patterns they ruminate over and to develop new ways of coping when family and friends cannot provide the support they need. Her approach is oriented toward collaboration - working with what a client brings and tailoring steps that reduce distress and increase connection.

Janet trained in human development and counseling, earning a BA in Human Development from the State University of New York and an MA in Counseling and Community Psychology from Sage Graduate School. She also brings earlier coursework from nursing studies to her perspective. She is credentialed as an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and is licensed to practice in both New York and Florida.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Janet uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach helps people who want support exploring personal values, improving communication, and strengthening relationships by centering their goals and experiences.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Mindfulness therapy is used to cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting clients who want ways to manage stress, emotional overwhelm, or persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Janet collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt techniques over time to match changing circumstances and priorities.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and access from home or work. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and continue treatment when in-person visits are difficult.
