Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Janet Kwantes

Janet draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic relationship where the client’s perspective leads the process - it is useful for building self-esteem, exploring values, and addressing feelings of isolation or low confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, mood challenges, and improving coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and happens collaboratively. Janet works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques to find the best fit rather than applying a single method from the start.

Online therapy with Janet is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care from different locations and schedules. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to engage in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels, while working with licensed professionals to address the issues important to them.
