She also supports people dealing with parenting stress, anger, compassion fatigue, and career decisions. Her work includes attention to issues affecting veterans, first responders, and people facing discrimination.

In Maryland practice she combines coaching-style guidance with clinical care to help people clarify next steps. She explains options simply and checks in about progress each session. The focus is on usable skills people can try between appointments.

When someone reaches out, Janet will tailor the conversation and any treatment plan to their situation. She describes the first step as courageous and stays alongside clients through planning and change. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One common approach focuses on building skills for managing mood and motivation, helping with things like bipolar symptoms, low energy, and task follow-through. Another approach emphasizes coping tools for trauma, grief, and stress, teaching grounding and pacing strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your situation, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping momentum between appointments and for maintaining continuity of care when life gets busy.
