Background and approach
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, especially around intimacy and trust. Dialectical behavior skills are added when people need tools for emotion regulation and coping under pressure.
Janet has practiced for ten years and holds a Master of Science and the LPC credential. She offers telemental health services to people located in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted.
Typical session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Janet asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and to provide basic identity and emergency contact information before starting services.
How her approaches translate to online care
Janet blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are; it helps clients feel heard and decide their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns. Attachment-based work examines early relationship patterns and how they influence current intimacy, trust, and family dynamics, which can help with relationship or parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Janet will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person's needs. She works collaboratively, adjusting strategies as progress is made and checking in about what feels useful in sessions.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or choose shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when travel or scheduling conflicts arise.
