About Janet

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 12 years of experience to her work. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and practices in Florida. Janet focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering calm, practical support.

She helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation. She also supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Her background includes work with issues like parenting stress, career concerns, and coping after trauma.

Janet believes each person knows their own story best. She treats clients as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear steps and small changes that fit daily life rather than abstract theories.

Her approach draws on client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques. She also uses narrative and motivational interviewing tools when they fit the person’s goals. Together these approaches help people notice unhelpful patterns and try manageable alternatives.

Janet aims to make starting therapy straightforward. She asks simple questions, listens carefully, and helps set short-term goals. Parents reading on a phone will find the language direct and the focus practical, with attention to real-world challenges like juggling responsibilities and building confidence.

How her approaches translate to online work

Janet uses client-centered listening to help people feel heard and understood. This approach focuses on following the client’s lead, reflecting what they say, and using their own goals to guide sessions. It is helpful for anyone who wants to sort out values, motivation, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is also part of her work and looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try simple experiments to change daily routines and moods. Mindfulness therapy adds short practices to build attention and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they set small, practical steps and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what is available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins between appointments when useful. It also lets people try tools together during the week and report back on how they worked in real life.
