About Janet

Janet Eddy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now - the reactions, the patterns, and what the client wants to change. She listens for where anger, sadness, or avoidance are getting in the way of daily life and looks for small, concrete steps forward.

Janet uses familiar therapeutic methods to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to notice unhelpful thought patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift reactions that no longer serve, and Client-Centered work to let a person lead the pace of change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Motivational Interviewing are part of her toolbox when processing trauma or building readiness for change.

Her approach suits someone who wants practical skills and plain conversation rather than jargon. Sessions address specific problems like trouble with anger, coping after loss, or low confidence at work. She also helps people facing complex matters such as dissociation, caregiver stress, or end-of-life concerns.

To begin, a person chooses the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Janet Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps a person notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and then choose actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anger or anxiety and practicing practical skills to change those reactions. EMDR is used when past traumatic memories are interfering with current functioning; it supports processing those memories so they have less emotional charge.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She may combine approaches over time and checks in about progress and what feels helpful.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. If you prefer working remotely, confirm the available online session options when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can be scheduled around work or caregiving obligations.
