About Janet

Janet Dove is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She focuses on practical tools that help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and sleep problems. Her approach aims to build skills, increase confidence, and help people feel more steady in day-to-day life.

Janet creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. She emphasizes listening first, then helping people name patterns and try small changes. Sessions tend to be down-to-earth and focused on concrete steps clients can use between meetings.

Her background includes six years of professional experience working with common life challenges such as career strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, caregiving stress, and coping after loss. She also supports people dealing with addictive behaviors, eating and body image struggles, anger, and issues related to attachment or abandonment.

Janet draws from several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She mixes these methods to match each person’s needs, prioritizing what helps someone move forward most effectively. This can include mindfulness practices, values-based goal setting, and skill building for stress and sleep.

People who choose Janet often want a steady, empathetic clinician who helps them set realistic goals. To begin, she asks questions, listens deeply, and collaborates on a plan that fits a person’s life and priorities.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that come with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with sleep issues, low mood, and anxious thinking. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals steer the work and the therapist listens deeply.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Janet will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans over time. This collaborative process helps people test what works and keep what’s useful.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or check in from a quieter location. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills in real-life routines and to use brief sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to match each person’s schedule and needs.
