About Janeen

Janeen Savini is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, and major life changes. Janeen aims to create a steady, compassionate space where people can talk about hard feelings and figure out next steps.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her, listening closely and asking curious questions. Janeen draws on straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based methods to spot unhelpful thought patterns.

Background and approach

She also brings in skills from dialectical behavior approaches to help with strong emotions and distress tolerance. Janeen adapts each plan to the client’s needs. That might mean practicing new ways to talk with a partner, building routines to manage anxiety, or setting short goals after a loss.

She uses a trauma-informed stance when past hurts are part of the story and pays attention to attachment patterns that shape relationships. Sessions focus on practical skills and small changes that add up over time. Janeen helps people find their values, build confidence, and gain a clearer sense of control.

Progress is framed as steady steps rather than overnight fixes. Her background includes training in several therapeutic approaches and a decade working with adult clients on issues such as depression, anger, caregiver stress, codependency, and family problems. Janeen’s style is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on real-life tools.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings and committing to meaningful actions rather than fighting every uncomfortable thought.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable parts and builds new coping habits.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then try methods that seem to fit. Adjustments are made along the way so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions can be simpler on difficult days, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapeutic tools when they are needed most.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
