About Janet
Janet Martinez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, career questions, and major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 18 years of experience to practical, down-to-earth sessions. Janet aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
Janet uses conversation to help people sort through what's most pressing. She focuses on clear goals and simple strategies clients can try between meetings. Sessions often include looking at patterns that keep problems going and practicing new ways of handling difficult moments.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma and abuse, grief, compassion fatigue, and addiction-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and body image issues. Clients can expect a mix of compassionate listening and focused problem-solving.
Janet draws on several established approaches rather than a single method. That means she adapts tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and emotionally-focused practices to fit each person. She explains options plainly and invites questions about how a technique might feel in real life.
People who choose Janet often want direct help with coping, clearer thinking about relationships, or support through painful life events. To start, she asks about goals and daily routines, then builds a plan that fits the client’s needs and schedule.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. In sessions the therapist reflects what clients say and helps them name feelings and values, which can be useful for relationship or career decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and offers specific skills to change them, helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, self-regulation, and coping with big life changes.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Janet collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals and daily life. She checks in about how techniques are working and adjusts the plan together so it fits the person’s needs and pace.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in on a work break, or let someone choose not to be on camera during a session. Discuss format preferences when you schedule so arrangements match your energy, schedule, and the kind of practice work you want to do.
