About Janet

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. Janet aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people understand what matters to them. Sessions focus on building skills and insight so people can feel more confident in their choices. Janet emphasizes creating a trusting relationship where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly.

Her approach blends acceptance and action. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and ACT ideas to clarify values and take meaningful steps. Attachment-informed thinking guides work on relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.

Janet has six years of clinical experience and holds LMFT credentials. She has supported people through parenting strain, career stress, addiction-related issues, and trauma and abuse recovery. She also helps with codependency, body image, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she listens closely and responds with practical suggestions. Typical work might include learning new ways to cope with anxiety, improving communication, or making a plan for life changes. The goal is steady progress that fits each person’s pace and goals.

How Janet’s Approaches Shape Remote Work

Janet often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, purposeful steps toward those values. ACT is useful when someone feels stuck by worry or avoidance and wants a clearer direction for action.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current interactions. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and codependency concerns by highlighting how people connect and seek support.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She treats the process as a shared exploration and adjusts strategies as goals evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit counseling into a busy day, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter moment for reflection. Online work can make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes and lets the therapist and client focus on practical skills and homework between meetings.
