To begin, she guides clients through small concrete actions and helps them build skills that fit their daily life.

How Janessa’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the client's lead and focuses on what the person says matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental listener and wants to set goals at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear exercises and homework that help reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. These techniques can help with overwhelming emotions and impulsive reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean trying CBT exercises one week and mindfulness practices the next.
