About Janetta

Janetta Berry- Sissoko is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and parenting strain. She works with individuals facing depression, bipolar challenges, addictions, anger, grief, and relationship and career pressures. Her tone is supportive and practical for people needing clear next steps.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing daily habits. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s situation. Janetta keeps conversations direct and grounded, aiming for small, achievable changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Janetta brings ten years of counseling experience. Her background includes work across a range of mental health and behavioral health settings where she supported people through life changes and coping challenges. That experience informs a straightforward, structured way of working.

In the room she mixes practical skills with a warm, respectful approach. People can expect tools for sleep, stress management, anger regulation, and coping with compassion fatigue. She helps set concrete goals and tracks progress over time.

Sessions focus on solving current problems and building lasting habits. Janetta emphasizes clear steps, homework you can try between sessions, and regular check-ins about what is helping. She meets people where they are and adjusts plans as needs change.

Practical therapy methods for online care

Janetta primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on method that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.

Her style focuses on clear steps and skill building. That means setting simple goals, practicing techniques between sessions, and tracking what works. The therapist and client decide together which tools to try and adapt them as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, keep continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. The variety of formats supports flexible scheduling and consistent follow-up, so people can continue making progress even when routines shift.

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.
