About Janet

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in Florida with six years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Janet also works with issues around addiction, career stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and life transitions.

Janet keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens for what matters most and helps people name patterns that fuel frustration or recurring conflict. Conversations often include simple behavioral steps and coping tools to use between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her approach draws from several therapies that emphasize values, thinking patterns, and secure connections. Janet uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas inform work on trust, closeness, and communication problems.

Sessions are client-centered in tone, with attention to meaning and life direction as needed. Janet frames challenges like anger, grief, and career stress in everyday terms and helps people set short practical goals. She also addresses topics such as codependency, abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related issues.

People who contact Janet usually want clear steps and thoughtful conversation. The process starts with a short intake and moves at a pace set by the individual. Her practice uses a subscription billing option that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are conducted in English.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used for online work

Janet uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them even when strong emotions arise. ACT is practical for anger, burnout, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful action rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that escalate stress or anger and to test more helpful responses. CBT offers concrete exercises people can try between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one fixed method up front.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow short check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling preferences during the initial matching questionnaire and the first session to pick an approach and format that fit everyday life.
