About Janine
Janine Gonzalez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 28 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a calm, down-to-earth presence to sessions. Janine focuses on helping people untangle stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma so they can move forward.
Janine prefers plain language and practical steps in therapy. She listens first and helps clients name what matters most. Then she works with them to build doable strategies for everyday life.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, accept difficult feelings, and try new actions that match their values. Over nearly three decades she has supported people facing grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, caregiver burnout, and end-of-life concerns.
Janine also helps with anger, shame, obsessive thoughts, panic, and trauma-related issues. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to fit each person. She values clear goals, practical tools, and steady encouragement.
The work often includes learning small skills to manage thoughts, feelings, and daily demands.
Using proven approaches in online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes taking steps that match your values even when emotions feel strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening closely and building a supportive relationship so people feel understood and can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like fitting sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Video calls let you see facial cues and share materials, while phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, reminders, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and practice skills between appointments.
