About Janet
Janet Langtry is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan with 27 years of experience helping people through stressful life moments. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, parenting concerns, grief, relationship strain, anger, and career challenges. Parents often contact her when family routines feel overwhelming or when major changes make clear thinking hard.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She listens first, then helps set simple, realistic goals. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs - sometimes short-term coaching, sometimes deeper work on trauma or grief.
Background and approach
The tone is supportive and direct, not clinical or distant. Janet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, loss, and behavior patterns that get in the way. She helps people notice what keeps them stuck and practices different ways of responding.
That can mean learning new communication habits, coping tools for anxiety, or strategies for parenting under stress. Over nearly three decades she has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, attachment issues, blended family problems, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and life transitions like divorce or fertility struggles.
Her experience includes helping clients navigate both sudden crises and slow, ongoing challenges. Janet emphasizes collaboration. She works with each person to build a plan that fits their life.
Progress is measured in small, practical steps you can use between sessions.

Practical Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Janet uses evidence-based techniques focused on clear skills and real-life changes. One approach helps people process trauma and abuse by gradually facing memories and learning calmer ways to respond to triggers. This can reduce intense reactions and make daily life easier over time. Another approach focuses on coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavior changes to manage overwhelming feelings and improve routines. These methods are useful for parenting strain, grief, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they will try methods that match those goals and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy parents, people who travel, or those who need a shorter way to connect with a licensed professional.
