Janet Kuykendall, LMHC, LCPC

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 12 years of experience to her work. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and practices in Florida. Janet focuses on practical, personal support for people facing everyday struggles.

She helps with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation. Relationship and family strain are common topics she addresses. She also works with grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to parenting and career changes.

Janet uses straightforward, people-centered methods. She listens first and follows each person's pace. Sessions aim to build on what already works in a person's life while introducing manageable new strategies.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with being present and managing strong feelings. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their story and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels unclear.

Janet emphasizes small steps and practical tools. She encourages people to name their goals and try concrete experiments between sessions. The work is collaborative, and she helps clients track progress over time.

If someone wants to explore changes for their mental health, Janet offers a calm, steady presence and clear options for moving forward.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts you and your goals at the center of each session. The therapist provides steady listening and reflection so you can make choices that fit your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple exercises to try between sessions to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice strong emotions without being swept away by them, using short practices that can be done wherever you are.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and then pick or combine methods that suit those goals. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps you make changes.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online sessions can reduce commute time and make it simpler to keep appointments during work breaks or family routines. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they fit your life.
