About Janet
Janet Hardy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who provides telemental health counseling to adults. She focuses on a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship strain, and trauma. Janet works with young adults, parents, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and she notes additional attention to adoption and foster care related issues.
Janet sees people as whole individuals shaped by many influences. She considers environment, learned behaviors, values, biology, culture, and personal story when planning care. Sessions start by building a trusting relationship that lets someone talk openly about difficult feelings and experiences.
Her approach is largely client-centered, which means she listens closely and responds with empathy and genuine, respectful presence. She also integrates techniques from attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and hypnotherapy as fits a person's needs and goals. Janet prefers working collaboratively so clients can set goals and track progress together.
She has ten years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Science degree and licensure as an LPC. Janet practices in Mississippi and conducts therapy online to fit into clients' schedules. Before services begin, clients provide proof of identity and an emergency contact as part of the intake process.
Janet aims to create a calm, straightforward space for adults to talk through parenting challenges, life changes, identity questions, and the emotional aftermath of loss or trauma. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy
Janet combines client-centered work and attachment-based ideas to create a collaborative online space. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and responding to what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and guide conversations toward their priorities. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for relationship concerns, attachment issues, and parenting challenges.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching clear tools for day-to-day use. Together, these approaches allow Janet to tailor sessions to emotional needs, identity questions, or stress tied to adoption and foster care matters when relevant.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janet will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting tools as progress is made. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
Janet practices telemental health counseling and asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Speak with Janet during intake to clarify formats and scheduling that best fit everyday routines.
