About Janine
Janine Best is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Tennessee. She brings 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Her work focuses on building confidence and improving day-to-day coping skills.

Background and approach
In the room she listens for what matters most and works with clients to set clear, practical steps. That may include learning calming strategies, reframing negative self-talk, or creating routines to support motivation. She also addresses parenting concerns, career stress, and issues tied to adoption, immigration, or aging when they come up.
Janine adapts her conversations and plans as progress is made. She emphasizes small, achievable shifts that add up over time. The focus is on helping people find more satisfaction and steadiness in daily life.
Her practice uses formats that fit modern schedules, including phone and video sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are arranged to match each person’s availability and needs.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Janine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on improving self-esteem and motivation by identifying negative self-talk, challenging unhelpful beliefs, and building small routines that support confidence and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist check progress and tweak strategies over time to find the best fit.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video can support a more traditional conversation when visual cues help, phone calls work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share brief updates between sessions. These formats provide flexibility to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
