About Janeen

Janeen Savini is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing life changes, relationship strain, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and anger. She uses clear, practical skills to help people who feel stuck and want change.

Janeen listens closely to each person's story and uses a client-centered approach. She explains how thoughts and beliefs influence feelings and behavior, then works with people on specific skills to manage those patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment strategies to address worry, low self-esteem, and stress.

Her work is informed by attachment perspectives and trauma-aware practices. That means she pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current reactions. People who have felt overwhelmed by strong emotions or who struggle with relationship patterns often focus on understanding those roots first.

Sessions include practical tools from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused planning to set clear, doable steps forward. Janeen also integrates narrative methods to help people reframe difficult experiences and regain a sense of agency. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions.

She supports people coping with caregiver strain, cancer-related stress, codependency, infidelity, and family of origin issues among other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Connecticut. To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-based action. Online sessions using ACT help people clarify what matters to them and practice small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In virtual sessions CBT translates to hands-on exercises, thought records, and homework that can be reviewed together.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that fit the situation. That shared testing helps refine what works, rather than committing to a single method up front.

The practical value of online sessions is in fitting work into daily life. Confirm which session formats are offered before you book. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work or family obligations, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists use similar tools remotely as they do in person, so people can learn coping skills, practice communication strategies, and track progress between sessions.
