More about Janet
- 8 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut with 7 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I’ve worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use, parenting issues, career challenges, OCD, and Bipolar disorder. I've also worked with people who have experienced physical trauma and//or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and dialectical- behavioral therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

So helpful kind and personable
2 sessions so far with Janet and I already feel comfortable and at ease. Really looking forward to continuing therapy with Janet’s help.
Janet is absolutely amazing. She takes the time to listen and to actually hear you. I find her to be both intuitive and concrete in her recommendations and responses.
Janet was extremely helpful in easing my anxiety and the stress I experienced while parenting a teen. She is a great listener and had many practical suggestions and helpful strategies for me to try. Each time we met, Janet was prepared to follow up on what we had previously discussed. Our sessions helped me gain a new perspective. I highly recommend Janet as an effective therapist.
I always feel much better after a session with Janet. She’s kind, easy to talk to, and gives fantastic advice :)
Amazing, so respectful and always knows what to say
She’s the best!
Great
Janet is absolutely fantastic. Patient, kind and understanding. I have had multiple instances where I have tried therapy and leave feeling more confused than I did when I walked in. Janets light hearted approach makes me feel very comfortable sharing with her. Janets questions help me reflect on my own behaviour and plan my actions for the future. I am already seeing lots of really positive changes in my life - and look forward to so many more. I am so grateful I found Janet as my therapist!
