Background and approach
She listens for values and motivation, then helps people move toward goals at a pace that fits them. Her work also addresses chronic pain, illness, and disability when these issues affect mood and daily life. Communication problems, struggles with guilt or shame, and questions around forgiveness are common topics she helps people sort through.
Substance use issues are approached with an emphasis on motivation and realistic planning. Janet draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people consider change and find personal reasons to act. She blends that with practical problem-solving and straightforward emotional support.
The goal is to leave each session with one or two steps a person can try between meetings. Janet holds a Wisconsin LCSW credential and carries experience from long-term clinical work. She offers help in English and works with people around the challenges named here.
If someone wants a steady, compassionate guide through a difficult season, she focuses on clear goals and workable steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational, person-centered method that helps people weigh pros and cons and find their own reasons to change. It is useful for addressing addictions, habits, and stages of readiness to act.Janet pairs this with practical problem-solving in sessions. That means setting clear, achievable steps and checking progress together. This helps when life feels chaotic and someone needs small, manageable goals to move forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet collaborates with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She will help adjust methods as progress unfolds so sessions stay useful and focused.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face connection, phone can be quicker and use less bandwidth, live chat and text messaging let someone check in between meetings or handle short updates. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
