About Janet
Janet Martinez is a licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and issues around money and work. She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients who are navigating big life changes and ongoing struggles.
Janet aims to create a calm space where people can say what they really think and feel. She listens without judgment and helps people identify practical steps they can take. Sessions often focus on skills for coping, improving relationships, and managing emotions.
Her approach draws from several well-known methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally focused ideas. Janet tailors techniques to each person instead of using one fixed plan. She often helps clients spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small changes to get different results.
Over nearly two decades she has supported people dealing with trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar disorder. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment, caregiving stress, and body image.
If a reader prefers Spanish, she can conduct sessions in that language. Janet guides clients through a step-by-step process so they can build tools to handle day-to-day pressures and longer-term goals.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people name what matters to them. This approach can help with stress, grief, relationship strain, and decisions about money and work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. Sessions teach practical steps to test unhelpful thinking and develop new habits for sleep, eating, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and attachment in relationships. It helps people recognize patterns in close relationships and try different ways of relating to ease conflict and improve intimacy. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and jointly decide which methods to try. That collaboration allows techniques to be adjusted as progress is made. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also allow a shorter phone check-in when energy or bandwidth is limited. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and what will best fit your schedule.Areas of focus
