About Janisse
Janisse Rothford uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and anger. She meets each person where they are and focuses on practical steps that help in everyday life. Janisse holds LCPC and LPCC credentials and brings ten years of professional experience to her work in Nevada.
She spent part of her career supporting military families, which shaped how she listens to stories about change and loss.
Background and approach
That background deepened her focus on communication problems, family concerns, and the loneliness people can feel during transitions. Janisse helps people find clearer ways to talk and reconnect with their priorities. Her sessions use tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills and shift unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness practices and client-centered conversation are woven in to slow things down and ground the work. For relationship concerns she applies principles from the Gottman Method to improve communication and repair patterns. Janisse aims for straightforward planning in sessions.
She works with people to set small, doable goals and practices between sessions. The tone is respectful and direct, with attention to each person’s values and life context. She offers several remote formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.
Janisse is based in Nevada and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a cooperative relationship. It centers the conversation on what matters most to the client and supports them in making choices that fit their life, useful for stress, grief, and self-esteem work.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) addresses specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and low mood. Sessions often include clear exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings, which adapts well to video or text follow-ups.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It helps people manage intense feelings and improves coping during relationship conflicts or anger episodes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and share materials. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
