About Janett
Janett Lopez-Inayama offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, and relationship strain. She writes short-term, clear goals with each person and focuses on small steps that fit into daily life. Janett is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in California with 13 years of experience.
She starts by listening to what matters most to the person in front of her. From there she helps identify patterns that make things harder and builds simple, repeatable skills to manage them.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and action-oriented while honoring each person’s values and pace. Janett works with common life struggles like self-esteem concerns, loss, and ongoing worry. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and loneliness.
Her practice addresses guilt, shame, gender dysphoria, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is practical and collaborative. She helps people try new ways of coping, practice everyday strategies, and notice what changes over time.
Progress is tracked in ways that make sense to each person. Janett brings a combination of real-world experience and a patient, respectful style to sessions. She encourages people to use their own strengths and to take manageable steps toward feeling better.
The work is paced to each person’s needs and goals.
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Janett uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One frequent approach is skill-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve daily functioning. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by giving steps people can try between sessions.She also emphasizes structured problem-solving and emotion-focused strategies. Problem-solving breaks large issues into smaller, workable tasks to reduce paralysis and increase confidence. Emotion-focused methods help people name and sit with difficult feelings so they lose intensity over time, which can be useful for grief, shame, and relationship concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janett works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, preferences, and life situation. Together they try methods, see what works, and adjust plans as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing processing between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy days, care schedules, or work breaks while keeping the work focused and goal oriented.
