Janet Dove

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and anger. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can name their feelings and start making small changes. Janet emphasizes practical skills and steady support to help people feel more capable in daily life.

She draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs. Sessions often include learning steps to reduce anxiety, building clearer communication skills, and working through grief at a pace that feels manageable. Janet also helps people sort through career concerns, relationship struggles, addictive behaviors, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Janet combines acceptance-based strategies with cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking and increase willingness to try new behaviors. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on closeness and trust. Her client-centered stance keeps the person’s goals and values central during treatment.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then suggests exercises and small homework tasks clients can try between sessions. Many people find this practical rhythm helpful for building confidence and momentum.

With six years of experience and licensure in Florida and North Carolina, Janet frames therapy as a skills-building process. She invites people to take the first step, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions that fit their schedule. The emphasis stays on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapy approaches and how they fit online

Janet uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and still act toward what matters to them. ACT focuses on values and small steps, which can help with anxiety, anger, and life changes. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a clear, skill-based approach that looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques for mood and stress regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will listen to goals and try approaches that suit a person’s needs, adjusting methods based on what helps most. She frames this as a collaborative process where the client’s experience guides the plan.

Confirm current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity when schedules change. It also lets people try exercises and check-ins between sessions in a way that fits their routine. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to what works in remote sessions, helping clients build skills steadily without promising any particular outcome.
