About Janet

Janet Martinez is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on helping people facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.

Janet uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. She creates space to talk about feelings and behavior without judgment.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and values. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns.

Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotional regulation and coping skills are needed. Janet has helped people work through trauma, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, chronic illness challenges, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

People can expect a collaborative approach that mixes talking, skill practice, and problem-solving. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts clients in Florida as well as international clients. The aim is steady progress toward clearer coping and better daily functioning.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Approaches for emotional control and life changes online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on your goals and values. The therapist listens without judgement and helps you clarify what you want to change, useful when someone needs a safe space to sort through strong feelings or decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify patterns that fuel anger or anxiety and teaches practical exercises to shift those patterns for better daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, builds specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can be helpful for learning breathwork, distress-tolerance techniques, and communication tools to reduce outbursts and reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will check what helps and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people read facial cues and hold a longer session, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day or to follow up between meetings. These options help people access regular care without extra travel and make it simpler to keep progress moving.
