About Janet
Janet Arnette uses Internal Family Systems as a central way of working with clients. She focuses on listening carefully, helping people notice parts of themselves, and finding gentler ways to respond to hard feelings. Janet aims to make each conversation practical and grounded so parents can try things at home between sessions.
She has 20 years of experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC. Janet works from Texas and brings long-term practice with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and stress.
Background and approach
Her approach is calm and steady, and she adapts to each persons situation rather than using a single method for everyone. Janet commonly addresses concerns such as parenting, relationship strain, intimacy-related problems, addictions, anger, bipolar mood issues, and coping with major life changes. She also has focused experience with hospice and end-of-life counseling and issues around infidelity.
Conversations aim to be straightforward and focused on small, usable steps. Sessions are tailored to the persons needs and paced to match what they can manage. Janet emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.
She supports clients as they build skills, try new responses, and work toward clearer goals. Her style is supportive and pragmatic. She helps people identify patterns, make practical plans, and practice new ways of responding so daily life can feel more manageable.
How Internal Family Systems and online care work together
Internal Family Systems helps people notice different internal parts and learn kinder ways to relate to them. That approach often helps with trauma, anxiety, depression, and intense emotional reactions by creating space to understand what each part needs.In practice, an IFS-informed session might involve gentle tracking of feelings, naming a part that shows up, and trying a new response to that part. This can be done through conversation, guided exercises, and small practices to try between sessions, which is useful for issues like grief, parenting stress, relationship pain, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether Internal Family Systems fits their goals and preferences. That decision comes from discussion about symptoms, life situation, and what the person hopes to change, and adjustments are made over time.
Online sessions - whether video, phone, live chat, or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reduce travel time. They allow people to connect from home, continue work while managing caregiving or medical needs, and use different formats for different moments, such as a quick check-in by text or a longer video call when deeper conversation is needed.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Treats the mind as having distinct parts, each with its own worry or role, and works towards them being less at war with each other. Conversational, so it carries over to online sessions.
