About Janet
Janet Kuykendall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use right away.
Her approach begins with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths that can be used to cope with hard moments. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make small changes that add up over time.
Janet uses familiar, evidence-informed methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness strategies. She explains ideas in plain language and practices skills together with the person in session. The work often includes noticing patterns, trying new responses, and checking what helps in day-to-day life.
Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also shape her style. These approaches help when someone feels stuck, unsure about change, or weighed down by past stories. Janet helps people break bigger problems into manageable steps so progress is visible.
She has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, career stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to change. To begin, clients are invited to describe their current struggles and set simple, realistic goals together.
How her approaches translate to online work
Janet draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation focuses on the person's own goals and perspectives, helping them clarify what matters. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, useful for anger, anxiety, and stress.She also uses mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and increase calm. Mindfulness exercises are taught step by step and can be practiced between sessions to build tolerance for strong emotions. The therapist and client treat finding the right mix of methods as a joint task; they review what works and adjust the plan together based on needs, goals, and preferences.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in everyday settings, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offer sessions without needing to leave work or home, while the therapist and client experiment with what best supports progress.
