About Janee

Janee Anez is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and life changes. She focuses on practical support that helps people get through hard moments and make small, doable changes. Her work also includes attention to adoption and foster care concerns among other life challenges.

In sessions she offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most right now. She listens for what is getting in the way and helps clients identify steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are collaborative and paced to fit what each person can handle.

Her approach pulls from several methods that emphasize thinking patterns, present-moment awareness, motivation, and inner parts work. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning brief skills to reduce overwhelm, or clarifying personal goals. Sessions often include concrete tools to practice outside of therapy.

Janee aims to help people build stronger coping skills and clearer direction when life feels uncertain. She supports caregivers, people facing chronic health challenges, those navigating family of origin or communication problems, and individuals dealing with loss or major transitions. Practical problem solving and steady listening guide the work.

People who prefer straightforward, compassionate talk and action-oriented steps will find a predictable and warm therapy style. To start, she asks questions about current concerns and priorities, then co-creates a plan that fits each person's pace and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Janee commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try different actions and ways of thinking to reduce distress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can ease anxiety and improve focus in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels doable. That collaboration helps set a clear plan and small steps to practice between sessions.

Confirm the exact session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between commitments. It can also allow shorter problem-focused meetings when helpful or make it simpler to keep a regular practice with homework and skill-building between appointments.
