She offers straightforward support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.

Janis uses a collaborative style. She treats each person as the expert on their life and partners with them to set goals. Sessions focus on clarity, gaining skills, and building motivation for change. She often blends practical strategies with attention to personal values and attachment patterns.

Her clinical methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

She also supports work around chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and grief.

Her background includes international service and roles in leadership and corporate collaboration, which influence a multicultural and adaptable approach.

Outside of therapy, she enjoys hiking, biking, fencing, and reading poetry. Reaching out for help is an important step, and she offers a steady, practical presence for people ready to begin change.

Approaches that guide online work

Janis uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. ACT often helps with motivation, avoidance, and persistent worry.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect communication and trust. This work can help people understand attachment-related fears, control issues, and codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Janis collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy life, keeping appointments when travel is difficult, or doing shorter check-ins between in-person visits. Online work can make it easier to meet regularly while balancing caregiving, work, or health needs; the therapist will discuss what will fit best during intake.
