About Janet
Janet Ready is a bilingual therapist who has practiced for over 20 years. She holds a LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) and a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and provides care in English and Spanish. She works from Colorado and offers sessions in multiple online formats to fit different needs.
Janet keeps a warm, communicative style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name what feels most urgent. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through their concerns. Her work covers common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and career questions.
The focus is on understanding what matters to each person and setting small, doable goals. Janet blends mindfulness, person-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Mindfulness practices help people notice unhelpful patterns.
Person-centered work centers the person's goals and preferences. Cognitive behavioral techniques offer clear strategies to change thoughts and actions that get in the way. Sessions can include discussion, skill practice, and collaborative planning.
Janet partners with each person to build a plan that fits their life and priorities. Her bilingual ability makes it easier for Spanish speakers to explain what they are feeling.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Janet uses a blend of approaches to help people make small, steady changes. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and calm the mind, which can help with anxiety, stress, and sleep problems. Person-centered work places the client's goals and experience at the center of each session, letting conversations guide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, useful for depression, anxiety, and habit change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janet collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and preferences. She will discuss options, try practical tools in sessions, and adjust the plan together as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
