Janet Kuykendall, LMHC, LCPC - Therapist in Florida

About Janet

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed therapist practicing in Florida who brings 12 years of experience to her work. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Janet also addresses family and relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, anger, career changes, and issues related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.

She writes in plain language and keeps sessions straightforward and goal-focused. Janet believes clients know their own stories and that therapy builds on those strengths.

Background and approach

She listens first and then helps set clear steps forward. Sessions aim to be practical, with tools clients can try between meetings. The tone is warm and direct rather than overly clinical.

Her background includes a mix of approaches that match different needs. Janet uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.

Mindfulness techniques are used to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Janet also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people making difficult changes and Narrative Therapy to help reframe life events and relationships. These methods are used as tools rather than labels, and they’re combined to fit each person’s situation.

The emphasis is on concrete progress and on skills that translate to daily life. She works with adults in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Janet offers flexible online formats so people juggling work or family can connect without extra travel.

The first steps are simple and focused on matching needs to practical therapy sessions.

Online approaches that fit busy family lives

Janet commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. This approach helps people feel heard and figure out what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another frequent tool and focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Janet works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and what shows up in sessions. She adjusts the plan over time, checking in to see which tools are helping and which need revising.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people juggling work and family. Video calls let conversations feel more personal, phone sessions remove the need for a camera, and live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins or brief problem-solving between appointments. These options make it easier to fit regular therapeutic work into a busy schedule while still using evidence-informed approaches.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
