Janet Eddy , LPC

Janet Eddy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and low self-esteem. Janet aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard feelings. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the person’s needs. Janet listens closely to understand what matters most to each client before suggesting ways forward.

Her work addresses a broad range of concerns including coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. She also helps with issues tied to relationships and life transitions like abandonment, divorce, and caregiver stress. Practical skills and clearer decision-making are often part of the work.

Janet uses a mix of approaches that match the situation and the person. That can include methods that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors, working with values and acceptance, or processing past traumatic memories. She collaborates with clients to pick strategies that fit their goals.

Sessions are offered in English and can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Janet explains options and the subscription-based session model up front so people can choose what works for them. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and small actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress and improve mood. It often helps with anxiety, panic, and depression. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process troubling memories that continue to cause strong reactions; it can support healing from trauma when combined with careful preparation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet talks with each person about goals and preferences and then suggests methods that fit. She adapts techniques so they make sense during online sessions and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is working.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation for deeper skill practice and guided work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter way to check in between sessions or for people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, consistent follow-up, and continued progress when in-person visits are not possible.
