Janet Dove , LMFT

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses practical, people-focused methods to help clients through hard times. She is based in Florida and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions. Janet emphasizes clear communication and steady support while guiding people toward changes they want to make.

She combines acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive tools to help manage anxiety, stress, and painful loss. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Janet helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward it while also teaching skills to calm the mind and shift unhelpful thoughts.

Attachment-based and client-centered approaches shape how she builds trust in the room. Janet works to create a space where feelings and history can be discussed without judgment. That groundwork often makes it easier to tackle intimacy concerns, relationship patterns, and issues like abandonment or codependency.

Practical life issues are part of her focus too. She supports people coping with career decisions, parenting strain, caregiving stress, sleep and eating concerns, and recovery from addictions. Janet also addresses anger, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue in everyday terms.

Her aim is to help people gain skills, self-knowledge, and confidence. New clients can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and collaborative planning to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. It often includes concrete exercises and homework to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, and together they will choose techniques that fit those needs. That collaborative exploration can mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress unfolds.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow a full-session conversation much like in person. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel while still accessing regular therapeutic support.
