Janet Hardy , LPC

Janet Hardy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who provides telemental health counseling to adults facing a range of concerns, including parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related life stresses. She works with young adults, parents, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, offering remote sessions designed to fit modern schedules and needs.

Hardy approaches human struggles as the product of many interacting factors - environment, learned patterns, personal values, biology, culture, development, social systems, and individual narrative. Because difficulties often arise from this mix, she uses an integrated perspective that considers these various influences rather than focusing on a single cause. This allows her to tailor care to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Therapy with Hardy begins by establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients can safely explore emotions and vulnerabilities. She emphasizes a person-centered approach that highlights empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Working collaboratively, she and the client set goals and select strategies that align with the client’s needs and values. Janet holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates clinical training to provide counseling services.

Prospective clients should be prepared to provide proof of identity and an emergency contact before services can begin.

Approaches That Guide Online Counseling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. It helps clients explore patterns in close relationships, rebuild trust, and develop healthier ways of relating to others when past attachment experiences contribute to current struggles.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, genuine engagement, and respect for each person’s perspective. It creates space for clients to articulate their goals and develop self-awareness, making it useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-focused, often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching strategies to manage symptoms and change patterns that interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, allow continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and provide different ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most comfortable.
