About Janine

She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through grief and loss, and build self-esteem and motivation.

Janine focuses on practical, easy-to-follow conversations tailored to each person. She listens for what matters most and adjusts the plan to fit real life.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize concrete skills for coping with life changes, dealing with trauma or abuse, and improving day-to-day functioning. She also supports concerns around parenting, career shifts, depression, and issues tied to adoption and foster care or immigration. Janine pays attention to communication patterns and family problems that can add to stress.

Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, midlife transitions, and young adult challenges. Janine meets people in a way that aims to build self-love and better boundaries. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide progress rather than one-size-fits-all advice.

Conversations are shaped around each person’s goals and pace. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Practical matters like scheduling, session format, or the subscription terms are explained when starting therapy so families can choose what fits their routine.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit busy lives

Janine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in plain terms so parents and adults can use them day to day. One common approach focuses on building concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress - teaching short practices and ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns so moments of overwhelm become more manageable. Another approach centers on grief and loss work, providing paced conversations and exercises that help people process emotions and remember what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels realistic for the client.

Online therapy is offered through several flexible formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let families and individuals fit regular sessions into busy schedules and continue work between meetings. The formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care even when routines change, while keeping the focus on practical progress rather than long, infrequent check-ins.
