About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence so clients can talk about what feels hard. Many people seek her out when life feels overwhelming or when emotions start to interfere with daily routines.

Janeen keeps the room practical and straightforward. She helps clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then practices new ways to respond.

Background and approach

Sessions often include learning skills for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and reducing symptoms of mood disorders. Her work draws on methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Those tools help people reduce unhelpful thinking and focus on values-based action.

She also uses client-centered approaches to ensure each conversation fits the person in front of her. With 17 years of experience, Janeen brings steady clinical experience from practice in Colorado. She has worked with issues ranging from trauma and post-traumatic stress to addictions and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes supporting people coping with major life changes and disaster-related stress. In sessions she aims for clarity and practical steps. Clients leave with concrete strategies to try between meetings.

Janeen supports people who want to build better routines, improve relationships, and feel more like themselves again.

Approaches to online therapy and what to expect

Janeen uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT usually involves setting small goals, practicing skills, and reviewing progress to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them. ACT is useful for coping with grief, chronic stress, and motivation problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then tailor methods to fit those needs. Sessions can shift over time as problems change or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or parenting. Remote sessions also let people practice new skills in their daily environment and check in between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
