Janine Best, LPC

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work

Janine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical tools and clear communication. One common approach emphasizes building coping skills and problem-solving strategies to reduce anxiety and manage daily stress. This helps people break big problems into small, manageable steps and learn what works between sessions.

Another frequent focus is on processing grief and trauma in a paced way. That involves creating a steady plan to address painful memories, reduce their impact on day-to-day life, and strengthen resilience. This approach can be helpful for loss, past abuse, or major life transitions such as adoption or immigration-related stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress is made. Clients and the therapist work together to pick techniques that fit the person’s situation and style.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for short check-ins, mood tracking, or quick support between longer meetings. These options make it simpler to keep continuity with a licensed professional while balancing work and family demands.
