About Janeen
Janeen Mongar is a licensed professional counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. She focuses on practical support for problems like anger, low self-esteem, sleep trouble, addiction, and major life changes. Janeen emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental approach that makes it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
She brings 17 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including grief, parenting strain, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Her background also includes support for people affected by natural or human-caused disasters and those dealing with guilt, shame, or trauma-related conditions. In sessions she uses clear, evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches when relationships and attachment are central to the work.
The focus is on skills people can use between sessions and on noticing what matters most to each person. Janeen aims to create a steady, compassionate space where people can sort out feelings and try new ways of coping. She works with practical steps like behavior changes, emotion regulation skills, and values-based decision making.
The intent is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Based in Colorado, she offers sessions in English and uses flexible formats to match different needs. Janeen encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to consider a first step toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day coping.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and experiments between sessions. It often helps with depression, panic, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for intense moods and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean mixing ACT, CBT, DBT, client-centered work, or emotionally-focused techniques as needed to match the presenting concerns.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to access these approaches. Video calls let people work face to face when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework review, or more frequent support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
