Janet Dove, LMFT

Janet Dove is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Janet aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can talk about what matters most to them.

She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to understand each person’s situation. Janet draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas guide how she builds trust and connection in sessions.

Janet’s work often concentrates on everyday concerns like relationships, career stress, parenting pressures, and coping with trauma or loss. She also supports people facing addiction, sleep or eating struggles, and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes attention to aging, caregiver stress, body image, and other life-stage challenges.

With six years of clinical experience, Janet aims to teach skills that people can use between sessions. She helps set small, achievable goals and practices techniques together in session so clients feel more confident managing stress or difficult emotions.

How Janet’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Janet commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and living with ongoing health challenges. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.

She also draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to shape the therapeutic relationship. Those approaches emphasize building trust, listening with curiosity, and creating a collaborative space where goals are set together. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work and will be adjusted to match a person's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. The therapist will work with each person to choose an approach and session rhythm that fit their goals and schedule.
