About Janet

Janet Dove brings a practical, person-focused therapy style to parents and adults seeking clearer ways to manage life stress. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, who keeps sessions straightforward and grounded. Janet emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most and learn skills to cope.

She recognizes how hard it can be to ask for help and aims to make that first step easier.

Background and approach

Janet uses a mix of approaches to match each person's situation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when practical changes in thinking and behavior can reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.

Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about how past relationship patterns affect current connections. Her work covers many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, addictions, relationships, parenting, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also addresses practical issues like communication problems, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and body image concerns.

Janet has six years of professional experience and holds licensure in Florida and North Carolina. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text. The enrollment process uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Janet aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship and to teach skills that help people move forward.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Janet commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or lift mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques as needed and checks in about what is or isn’t working so the plan can change over time.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options allow people to meet from home or another convenient place, fit sessions around family and work commitments, and use different communication styles as needed. The variety of formats supports ongoing progress even when schedules are busy.

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.
