About Janet

Janet Ready is a bilingual therapist who brings twenty years of clinical experience to her work. She speaks English and Spanish and holds both LMSW (Master of Social Work, Licensed Master Social Worker) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credentials. Based in Colorado, she helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, and other life challenges.

Her style is warm and conversational. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation and mutual planning.

Background and approach

Janet listens first, then helps shape goals that fit each person's day-to-day life. Janet blends mindfulness, person-centered care, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Mindfulness helps people become more aware of thoughts and bodily reactions.

Person-centered work keeps the client's priorities central. Cognitive behavioral tools offer concrete ways to shift thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. She uses dialogue to build a plan tailored to the person's needs.

That plan might include exercises between sessions or new ways to handle stress, sleep, eating, or relationship patterns. The tempo and focus are guided by what the person brings to the room. Janet welcomes people with a range of concerns, including depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, parenting challenges, career stress, self-esteem struggles, and sleep or eating problems.

Her bilingual ability supports English and Spanish speakers seeking help from a Colorado-based clinician.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Janet uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and build skills. Mindfulness work teaches how to notice thoughts and bodily signals without getting swept away, which can help with anxiety, mood swings, and stress. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offer step-by-step ways to change unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Janet listens to concerns and goals, then suggests methods to try. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what helps most, so clients and therapist decide together what fits best.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options let people fit therapy into busy days, handle parenting or work constraints, and continue care from different locations. The range of formats also allows follow-up, check-ins, or longer sessions depending on what the person needs.
