How Janet's Approaches Work Online

Janet often uses attachment-based work to help people notice how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions. This approach helps with intimacy problems, communication issues, and understanding patterns that repeat in adult life.

She also brings emotionally-focused therapy techniques that focus on the felt experience in relationships. EFT-style work helps people name emotions, slow down reactive cycles, and practice new ways of reaching for connection and repair.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Janet works together with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts the work as trust and clarity grow.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper relational work and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can help sustain progress between sessions and suit busy schedules. These options give flexibility so people can keep up with therapy alongside work, caregiving, or treatment demands.
