About Janet

Janet Dove is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, career strain, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and anger. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps clients can use between meetings.

Janet uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused work. She listens for patterns that hold people back and helps them try small behavior changes. Clients practice simple skills for managing strong feelings, improving sleep, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, attachment concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach blends several methods to fit what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name values and act in ways that matter to them. Attachment-based ideas inform how current relationships shape reactions and trust.

Janet encourages practical homework between sessions. That might include short mindfulness practices, experimenting with new communication habits, or tracking mood and sleep. She aims to build skills clients can rely on when stress or anger rises.

Clients can expect a clear, steady style rather than technical jargon. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as needed. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the approach fits.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps when anger or avoidance get in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical experiments to try new responses to stress and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and trust, which can be useful when anger shows up in close relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janet treats the choice as collaborative and practical. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Confirm session delivery options before booking, because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, allow shorter check-ins if time is limited, or remove the need to commute. Many clients find online meetings helpful for keeping skills on track between sessions and for practicing communication or relaxation exercises in real routines.
