About Janet

Janet Langtry is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of experience who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and related issues. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career shifts, anger, or life transitions.

Her tone is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping a worried parent make practical changes one step at a time. Janet adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation.

Background and approach

She listens for what matters most to the family and suggests concrete steps to try between sessions. This can include communication strategies, coping tools for anxiety, or ways to manage grief and loss. Her background includes long-term clinical work in Michigan and a focus on a wide range of family-related difficulties such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.

She also addresses ADHD, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges tied to chronic illness or aging. Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical problem-solving and emotional processing. She aims to help clients build skills they can use at home, to improve daily routines, reduce conflict, and manage strong emotions.

She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit busy family schedules. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to align with the family's needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for families

Janet draws from evidence-based techniques that focus on clear, usable skills and emotional processing. One common approach helps people learn practical communication and problem-solving skills to reduce conflict and improve daily family routines. This is useful for parenting issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.

Another approach emphasizes structured strategies for managing anxiety and stress. It teaches simple coping tools and breathing or grounding exercises, along with steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help when worry or anger gets in the way of family life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Janet will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the family’s schedule. She adjusts plans as progress is made or as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so parents can choose what fits their routine. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care during life transitions, while allowing regular check-ins and practice of new skills between meetings.
