Janet brings nine years of professional experience and holds LCSW and LCSW-C credentials. She is licensed in Maryland and nearby jurisdictions, and conducts sessions in English.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting people who contend with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges that come from discrimination or disaster. Her style is collaborative and pragmatic. She listens first, then tailors conversations and approaches to what the individual needs.
Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and steps that fit day-to-day life. Janet also addresses career concerns and coaching-style questions when asked. Janet works with a broad range of additional concerns such as aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, first responder issues, veteran and armed forces issues, infidelity, intellectual disability, and seasonal affective disorder.
She adapts her support to each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method. Many people come for help with parenting-related stress and parenting challenges; Janet offers practical strategies to manage strain and build confidence. She encourages taking small steps and recognizes that reaching out for help is a meaningful act of courage.

Online approaches and practical session options
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, usable tools. One approach centers on building coping skills for stress, grief, and anger through simple exercises and step-by-step practice that can be used between sessions. Another approach emphasizes behavioral and coaching strategies to improve motivation, career decisions, and daily routines by breaking goals into manageable tasks and tracking progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work stays practical and relevant to real life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity of care when travel or work changes plans.
