Dr. Janie Oliver , LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Janie

Dr. Janie Oliver meets parents who are stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She speaks plainly and listens closely.

Many families come to her worried about anxiety, behavior challenges, trauma, or parenting struggles. She aims to make the first steps clear and manageable for busy households. She uses straightforward counseling to help parents and children notice strengths and small changes.

Her work often focuses on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and coping with life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws from approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused methods to create practical steps parents can try between sessions. Dr. Oliver has practiced as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for 21 years in Georgia.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, grief, mood concerns, and family dynamics. She also brings experience with veterans and multicultural issues when these are relevant to a family’s needs. Her approach blends listening with clear skills training.

Sessions focus on what a family wants to change and on realistic tools they can use at home. She often works with parents on discipline strategies, communication, and rebuilding trust after difficult events. Clients can expect direct, respectful conversation and step-by-step plans to try between meetings.

The aim is steady progress rather than perfection. Dr. Oliver keeps explanations simple so busy parents can use what they learn right away.

How her approaches translate to online family care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the family’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back and helps parents identify goals they want to work on, such as calmer routines or clearer rules. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and behavior challenges because it gives practical tools parents and kids can use at home. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people notice and change patterns in how they respond to each other. It can be helpful for repairing trust, improving communication, and managing strong emotions in family relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the family to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and daily life. That process is flexible and adapts as the family makes progress.

Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let families fit sessions around school and work, use short check-ins between meetings, and practice new skills in real time. The combination of structured techniques and flexible formats aims to make therapy easier to use for busy households.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
