Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new coping skills in everyday life. Her background includes long-term practice in Hawaii and licensure as an LMFT in Hawaii and Florida. Over two decades she has helped people facing grief, addiction concerns, mood challenges, body image and parenting strains.
She emphasizes strengths people already have and helps them apply those strengths to current problems. Sessions typically focus on clear, usable strategies. That can mean learning grounding and emotion regulation skills, practicing new ways to talk about needs, or changing routines that fuel anger and stress.
Jonnet aims to make sessions practical and relevant to daily life. Clients who choose her can expect a collaborative approach. She works with each person to set goals and pick tools that fit their situation.
Progress is tracked in simple steps so change feels manageable and real.

Approach and online care that fit your life
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and can help people understand patterns that underlie anger or trust issues. It focuses on building awareness of emotional triggers and safer ways to ask for needs to be met.Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace, which can be especially useful when someone is sorting through difficult feelings or making big life decisions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts that feed strong emotions and then practice different responses. It often uses short, practical exercises you can try between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Choosing the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss options, consider goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed. That collaboration helps identify what feels most helpful for anger, anxiety, or relationship concerns.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
