About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps clients can use in daily life. Her style aims to make speaking about difficult feelings feel straightforward and nonjudgmental.

She draws on 17 years of professional experience to guide conversations about motivation, confidence, and coping after loss or big life changes. Sessions emphasize clear, usable skills rather than complex jargon. That includes techniques for managing panic, mood shifts, and sleep troubles.

Her work combines several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and change small behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take value-driven actions even when feelings are intense.

Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) shape how the room feels - open, respectful, and focused on what matters to the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete coping tools when emotions feel overwhelming.

She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to trauma or disaster. Conversations can cover veteran and armed forces concerns, obsessive or compulsive behavior, postpartum mood challenges, and traumatic brain injury recovery.

Janeen encourages step-by-step progress. She works with each person to set clear goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track what changes are helping.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small actions that match those values even when emotions are strong. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing routine behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than using a fixed script.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, and use visual or written tools during sessions to build new habits.
