Janisse Rothford

Janisse Rothford is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to meet clients where they are. Janisse uses conversational, practical work to help people find clearer footing during difficult times.

She holds LCPC and LPCC credentials and brings ten years of professional experience to her practice. Her background includes several years working with military families, which shaped her skills in listening and quick problem-solving. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions.

Janisse combines client-centered work with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That blend helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and practice emotional regulation skills. She also draws on mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and on the Gottman Method when relationship communication is a focus.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful. People can expect clear goals, short practical exercises, and tools to use between meetings. Janisse emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every step, and she encourages small, steady changes that fit into daily life.

To begin, visitors choose the Start Therapy process, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Janisse works in English and practices in Nevada.

Approaches and how they fit into online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach supports issues like stress, grief, and self-esteem by making space for honest conversation.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, adds clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in heated moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made and needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow short check-ins when that helps, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into sessions for discussion.
