About Janette
Janette Hernandez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and anger. Janette uses a person-centered stance and practical therapy methods to help people handle everyday problems and strong emotions.
Her work emphasizes clear, direct conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills people can use between appointments. Janette draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness strategies to manage strong feelings and reduce reactivity.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationship patterns affect current behavior. That can help when trust, abandonment, or codependency issues come up. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are available for building distress tolerance and improving emotional regulation.
Janette describes therapy as a collaboration. She treats people as the expert in their own lives and offers clinical tools, reflection, and feedback. Practical steps and small experiments are common parts of sessions so people can test new ways of handling anger, communication, or workplace stress.
Her practice includes work on family of origin issues, intimacy and body image concerns, eating and food-related problems, and professional burnout like compassion fatigue. For someone whose frustration builds into arguments or resentment, she aims to help them identify triggers and practice clearer ways of responding.
How her approaches translate to online work
Janette commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas in her practice. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships that affect reactions now and helps people try different ways of relating.She also includes mindfulness techniques to notice emotions as they arise and to reduce impulsive responses. These practices support clearer communication and better distress management when frustration or resentment builds. Janette frames therapy as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone choose an audio-only appointment if bandwidth is low or a camera is not preferred. Licensed professionals can guide practical steps you can try between sessions to manage anger and improve communication without promising a particular outcome.
