About Janet
Janet Crockett is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people cope with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, career challenges, eating concerns, and major life changes. She has nine years of professional experience and works from Maryland. Janet writes in a straightforward way and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She treats anger, bipolar concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and parenting stress with attention and patience. She also supports people facing aging or geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome related challenges, and questions that arise after disasters or major events.
Background and approach
Her practice includes work around first responder stress, veteran and armed forces issues, and problems connected to prejudice and discrimination. Janet aims to meet each person where they are. She listens, asks clear questions, and tailors a plan for each concern.
Sessions blend short-term problem solving with skills people can practice between meetings. Her approach emphasizes respectful, sensitive care that focuses on goals you set together. She helps people boost motivation, build confidence, and manage symptoms so everyday tasks feel more manageable.
Janet balances practical coaching with emotional support. Janet holds credentials as LCSW, MD, and LCSW-C and has nearly a decade of experience in behavioral health. She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules.
To begin, the process guides people through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their hold on daily life by working step-by-step through upsetting experiences and teaching coping skills for strong emotions. Another common approach emphasizes building concrete skills for mood and behavior change, such as routines, activity planning, and strategies to manage energy and motivation. These approaches help with grief, mood instability, ADHD challenges, and stress from major life changes.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Janet collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as priorities shift, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, live chat allows shorter back-and-forth during busy days, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching and brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
