About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 17 years of experience. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem, and she helps people who are wrestling with motivation, confidence, and life changes.

She uses straightforward, person-centered work that encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions are meant to feel like a practical place to sort through what’s happening now and figure out next steps. Janeen aims to reduce recurring patterns that leave people snapping at loved ones or feeling overwhelmed at work.

Her approach pulls from cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and next actions. Dialectical skills are used when strong emotions get in the way of daily life, and emotionally-focused methods are applied to improve connection and communication around relationship stress.

Janeen has helped people manage a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including addictions, grief, sleep problems, ADHD-related challenges, and mood disorders. She also supports recovery after traumatic events or disasters and addresses guilt, shame, and veteran-related issues.

In sessions she invites practical steps, simple skills practice, and steady reflection. The work is collaborative and paced to what a person can manage. Clients leave with clear strategies to try between visits and a plan to track progress.

How sessions work

Approaches you might use online with Janeen

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed actions toward them while allowing difficult thoughts to exist without getting stuck. It can help when anger is tied to how someone wants to show up in relationships or at work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and reactions. It is useful for interrupting patterns like snapping or rumination that keep anger active.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. These tools are often helpful when strong emotions repeatedly interfere with daily life or relationships.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and new issues come up.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practice of skills in the real-world settings where anger often shows up, making between-session practice more practical.
