About Janet

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She aims to create a calm space where clients can speak openly and be heard. Janet encourages small steps toward clearer goals and steadier daily routines.

She draws on practical approaches to help people manage mood, motivation, and relationships. Sessions often include talking through worries, learning skills to handle stress, and building confidence. Janet pays attention to how attachment and past relationships affect current patterns.

Her work centers on forming a trusting, supportive relationship. She listens without judgment and helps clients name what matters to them. That relationship becomes the foundation for trying new behaviors and perspectives.

Janet blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered work. She uses exercises and reflections that fit into everyday life rather than abstract theory. This keeps sessions focused on what a person wants to change now.

With six years of experience, Janet offers guidance for a wide range of concerns from trauma and addiction to parenting stress and career questions. She emphasizes practicing skills between sessions and measuring small wins. People who start therapy with her should expect clear goals, steady support, and a collaborative plan tailored to their needs.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are hard, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in close relationships, and it can help people change how they relate to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they make a plan and adapt methods as progress is made, so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between meetings. It also lets people practice skills in their daily routines and bring real situations into conversation. Licensed professionals can guide those steps and help translate therapeutic tools into everyday habits.
