About Janet
Janet Jacobs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and anger.
Janet treats the person, not the label. She listens to each client's story and looks for practical ways to reduce reactivity and improve everyday coping. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and skills as tools to manage frustration, resentment, and difficult reactions.
Sessions are conversational and focused on real-life patterns. Janet helps people notice what triggers their anger and what keeps it going. She then helps practice clearer communication, better boundaries, and small behavior changes that lower tension over time.
Her approach blends methods that have been shown to help with mood and self-control. Work can include problem-solving for work stress, addressing relationship clashes, and building routines that improve sleep and eating when those issues are part of the problem.
Janet also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and life transitions. She accepts international clients and works in English. Starting work with her involves a short intake process and scheduling a first session so goals and options can be discussed.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Janet often draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on recognizing thought and behavior patterns and then practicing specific alternatives. One approach helps people identify triggers and change unhelpful thinking patterns that increase anger; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and reactivity. Another approach emphasizes skills practice - such as paced breathing, boundary-setting language, and step-by-step problem solving - which helps with day-to-day stress and interpersonal clashes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janet treats the choice as a collaboration and adjusts methods based on a client’s goals, what feels practical, and how well techniques fit into everyday life.
