About Janet
Janet Eddy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at practical steps for everyday life.
Janet creates a calm space where clients can name their feelings and think through hard choices. She focuses on clear conversation and simple strategies that people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
The approach is warm and accepting, with attention to what each person needs in the moment. She uses evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thinking and acceptance-based strategies to handle difficult emotions. Janet also draws on client-centered principles to follow each person's lead, and she uses EMDR when trauma memories are part of the problem.
Motivational interviewing helps when getting started feels overwhelming. People reach out to her for a range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including coping with life changes, caregiver stress, grief and end-of-life issues, body image concerns, dissociation, and veteran-related matters. She supports work on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt, and chronic feelings of emptiness.
Sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled based on the therapist's availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward values-based actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on processing distressing memories when past trauma continues to cause intense reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet listens to a person's concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggests methods to try. Together they monitor what helps and adapt the plan as needed so treatment fits the person, not the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility with appointment formats that suit different days and schedules. Video calls let people connect face-to-face for in-depth work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins and steady support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep work on emotions and behavior consistent with day-to-day life.
