Janine Best , LPC

Janine Best is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports clients facing life changes, parenting challenges, career transitions, and issues that commonly affect women. Janine emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care in every conversation.

Her approach is practical and client-centered. She tailors discussions and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on building coping skills, boosting confidence, and finding clearer ways to move forward after loss or tough life events.

Janine has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care concerns, communication and family problems, immigration-related stress, and midlife transitions. She brings steady experience to these topics and aims to help clients set realistic goals and small, doable steps toward them.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to individual issues rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Janine adapts pace and structure so people feel heard and can try out new ways of thinking and acting between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole. Her practice supports young adults and adults navigating career and relationship shifts, aging and geriatric concerns, and the personal challenges that come with parenting and self-love work. Janine offers straightforward guidance and a calm presence while people work toward change.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Janine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she applies centers on building coping skills and problem-solving strategies to manage anxiety, stress, and everyday challenges. This helps people develop routines and tools they can use between sessions. Another approach emphasizes working through grief and difficult life changes by naming emotions, pacing recovery, and setting small, manageable goals to regain a sense of direction.

Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then pick and adapt methods that match those priorities. This collaborative process means adjustments can be made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a conversation that feels more like an in-person session for deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick updates, ongoing encouragement, and brief skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into work, family time, or relocation while keeping continuity of care with licensed professionals.
