About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people take the first steps toward better sleep and calmer days. She offers steady support for stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep problems while listening closely to each person's concerns. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, focused on practical steps that fit into daily life.

She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about openly. Sessions focus on understanding what gets in the way of rest and what small changes might improve routines and mood. Janeen uses clear tools and steady guidance rather than jargon or long lectures.

Over 17 years of practice she has worked with people facing trauma, grief, anger, addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, and mood disorders. That experience informs how she helps people manage panic, obsessive thinking, seasonal mood changes, and recovery after traumatic events. She also offers help for challenges common after childbirth and for veterans and armed forces concerns.

Her approach draws on practical methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening. These methods are used to build coping skills, reduce sleep disruption, and manage strong emotions. The emphasis is on what the person wants to change and on steps they can try between sessions.

To begin, a brief matching process and scheduling step are used so people can connect and plan next steps. Janeen aims to make therapy feel useful and doable, with an eye toward improving rest, mood, and everyday functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on actions that match personal values, which can help when sleep and daily routines are disrupted by worry or avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. For sleep issues this often means identifying sleep-interrupting thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and life. That means talking about what matters most, trying techniques, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between sessions, which can speed up learning new sleep habits and coping strategies.
