About Janet
Dr. Janet Dean helps people cope with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and low self-esteem. She supports those facing depression, tough life changes, addiction concerns, and questions about sexual identity.
Her style is straightforward and calm, and she aims to make difficult conversations feel manageable. She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on each person's goals and strengths. That means sessions are shaped around what matters to the individual instead of a rigid plan.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Janet has worked in counseling and psychotherapy for 28 years and holds a Kentucky psychologist credential, KY Psychologist 129393. She also teaches psychology at the college level and supervises graduate students training to become counselors.
Her academic work includes research on sexual identity and faith, counselor self-care, and links between faith and mental health. In session she tends to be practical and direct. Conversations often include setting small, achievable goals, practicing new coping skills, and reviewing what worked between visits.
She helps people build clearer routines and better ways to respond when anger or stress rises. Her hope for clients is to find more peace and a clearer sense of who they are. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to walk alongside people as they make changes and find more satisfying relationships and purpose.

Approaches Janet lists

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's priorities at the center of each session. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions, which works well over video or phone when someone needs supportive conversation and collaborative goal-setting.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Online sessions often include short skill practice, worksheets, and planning between visits to try new ways of responding to stress, anger, or low mood.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This keeps therapy focused and practical while honoring the client's preferences.
Online formats offer useful flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging works for brief updates or between-session coaching. These options make it simpler to fit regular work on goals into a busy life.
