Approaches that guide online work

Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people learn short skills to manage anxiety and panic symptoms, such as breathing and grounding exercises combined with stepwise exposure to feared situations. This approach is useful for panic attacks, high anxiety, and moments of intense worry.

She also draws on methods that focus on patterns in relationships and attachment. These methods help people notice recurring communication habits, understand how early attachment shapes current responses, and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. This work can ease loneliness, abandonment fears, and repeated conflict cycles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She aims to match methods to what feels realistic and helpful for each individual.
