About Janet
Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in Florida and brings 12 years of experience to her work. She uses a straightforward, respectful approach and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. Janet emphasizes clients' strengths and supports practical steps toward change.
She believes each person knows their own story and builds on what already works. Sessions aim to identify manageable goals and small changes that add up over time. Janet offers encouragement and accountability while honoring clients' pace and priorities.
Her background includes helping people with depression, grief, addiction concerns, anger, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and the stresses that come with caregiving and blended family situations. Adoption and foster care appear among her additional areas of focus.
Janet draws from several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the person's experience. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Mindfulness-based practices and motivational interviewing help people stay focused and move toward goals. Narrative therapy tools are applied when revising the stories people tell about themselves. The goal is practical progress - feeling more in control, communicating more clearly, and handling day-to-day stress more easily.
How her methods translate to online work
Janet commonly uses client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy in her sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person's concerns, which helps clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small, testable changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice their reactions and on motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels uncertain about making a change and wants to find their own reasons to move forward.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Janet works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while managing daily responsibilities.
