About Janet
Janet Martinez is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 18 years of experience to her work. Janet aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for anyone who reaches out.
Janet creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful feelings and confusing choices. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors conversations to everyday life needs.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a person’s pace, with practical steps when they feel helpful. Her approach draws on existential ideas that look at meaning, responsibility, and how people want to live. Janet also uses client-centered methods to keep the focus on the person’s goals, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior.
These approaches are mixed to fit each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. Janet has worked with a wide range of concerns over nearly two decades, including trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting stress, mood difficulties, and eating or sleep problems. She also supports people dealing with career changes, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and identity issues such as LGBT-related stress.
People who prefer talking in Spanish can do so, and international clients may be supported. Janet offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences.

How Janet’s Approaches Work Online
Janet blends existential therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques to meet practical needs and deeper questions about meaning. Existential therapy looks at how people find purpose and handle life choices, which helps when someone feels stuck or questions their path. Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person’s goals and feelings, giving space to be heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Janet will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different ways of working. Together they’ll try methods that fit daily life and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online therapy formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, reflection between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules, travel, or caregiving routines while keeping the work focused on real problems and real changes.
