About Janisse
Janisse Rothford is a licensed counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She holds licensure as an LCPC in Nevada and an LPCC in California and brings a decade of counseling experience to her work. Her style is direct and respectful.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She listens first, then tailors conversations and strategies to each person’s situation.
Background and approach
Janisse draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness practices are suggested when they fit a person’s needs.
When relationship issues come up she applies elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Her approach aims to make day-to-day interactions easier and less tense. Janisse has background working in settings that involved military family support and has spent many years helping people navigate life transitions.
She offers short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person wants to accomplish. She is available for sessions on set days and asks new clients to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire. From there she helps schedule a first session and builds a plan that fits each person’s goals and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing each person’s experience and shaping sessions around their needs. In online work this means the therapist starts by asking about goals and then adapts tools and pacing to match what a person wants to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Online CBT often uses structured conversations, simple homework, and skill practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and manage anger more effectively.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and tolerating distress. In remote sessions this can include coaching on breathing and grounding, role-play of conversations, and building a short skills plan to use when feelings spike.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. That plan can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for more in-depth skill teaching and role-play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions and get shorter support without a full appointment. These options aim to make regular work on goals easier to fit into a busy life.
