Janeen Savini, LPC

Janeen Savini is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing life changes, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and the stresses that come with caregiving and medical concerns. Janeen aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and begin to take small steps forward.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens closely to each person's story and helps identify thoughts and beliefs that get in the way. She uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral approaches to reduce worry and build confidence. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people decide what matters most and move toward it.

When trauma or painful memories are present, Janeen uses a trauma-informed stance to keep work manageable and paced to the person's needs. She helps people set concrete goals and practices to regain a sense of control. Narrative techniques are used to reframe difficult experiences and find new meaning.

Many clients come wanting clearer communication, better boundaries, or help coping with illness and caregiving stress. Janeen pairs short-term problem-solving with longer-term skill building so people feel steadier between sessions. Her aim is to help people find direction, feel more able, and reclaim hope.

To start she learns what matters most to the person and then builds a plan together that fits real life and daily routines.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and build new routines, useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people improve communication, boundaries, and closeness in important relationships.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to prioritize skills, values work, trauma processing, or relationship-focused work.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care during health challenges or caregiving responsibilities by keeping therapy accessible between in-person visits.
