About Janet
Janet Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 18 years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or coping with relationship and family challenges. She speaks English and Spanish, and aims to help clients take the first step toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.
Janet focuses on practical work in sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them set small, useful goals. She draws on approaches that help change unhelpful thinking, build emotional skills, and improve relationships. That can include learning new coping skills for anxiety, practicing ways to manage anger, or working through grief and loss.
Clients often get tools they can use between sessions. These might be exercises to notice patterns, short behavioral experiments, or skills for managing overwhelming feelings. Janet also supports people dealing with codependency and attachment concerns, helping them notice patterns and try new ways of relating.
Her background includes many years helping people with trauma, addiction, parenting strain, chronic illness, and career transitions. Janet emphasizes straightforward language and practical steps, so sessions spend more time on action than jargon.
If someone prefers therapy in Spanish, she can provide sessions in that language. Janet encourages people to start where they are and work toward clearer choices and steadier days.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and helps people feel heard while they sort out what matters most. It is useful for improving self-understanding and finding motivation to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like sleep or eating by giving clear, practical strategies.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It is commonly used when people feel overwhelmed by big feelings or struggle with self-destructive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current session options before booking to know what is available. Many people find that regular remote sessions help them practice skills in the context of everyday routines and maintain steady progress.
