Background and approach
Her work draws on about 10 years of counseling experience across behavioral health settings. She has supported people dealing with depression, bipolar symptoms, anxiety, addiction, grief, sleep trouble, and work or parenting-related stress. That range helps her recognize how problems in one area often affect other parts of life.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means she and the client look at how thinking and actions connect. Together they build coping tools, set clear goals, and track progress week to week. Plans are adapted to each person’s needs and pace.
Janetta keeps a warm, collaborative approach. She aims to create a respectful space where people can speak honestly and try out new ways of coping. Reaching out is framed as a first step toward steadier routines, better sleep, and clearer choices.
People who prefer practical, skills-focused counseling find her style helpful. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How CBT and online sessions work together
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. A typical CBT session looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. It is often helpful for worry, depression, sleep problems, and managing bipolar symptoms alongside other supports.Janetta uses a skills-based approach that is adapted to each person. She will collaborate with clients to decide if CBT techniques fit their goals and may adjust methods if something else suits the situation better. Figuring out the right approach is a shared process, with regular check-ins to track progress and tweak the plan.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and allow screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other busy schedules while keeping focus on real-world skills and progress.
