About Janet
Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor with LMHC and LCPC credentials and 12 years of experience. She practices in Florida and draws on years of hands-on work supporting people facing stress and anxiety. Her style is straightforward and respectful.
She focuses on helping people name problems and build small, practical steps forward. Janet centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. She treats clients as the expert on their lives and helps them notice what already works.
Background and approach
Conversations stay focused and goal-minded, with room for emotion and reflection. In sessions she addresses relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and confidence, and motivation challenges. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar concerns, and life transitions.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and communication problems. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She uses practical skill-building and short-term strategies when helpful, and narrative techniques to make sense of recurring patterns.
Motivational interviewing techniques support people who want to change habits or improve follow-through. Janet offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions by building on existing strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns through short exercises and new practice between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention skills to help people notice stressful reactions and choose different responses. It can be useful for managing stress, anger, and ongoing worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to decide which tools and methods match their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.
