Janet Queen, LCSW

Janet Queen is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and major life changes. Her approach is calm and direct, focusing on what a person needs now to feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day life.

Janet draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She often helps clients sort out communication problems, feelings of guilt or shame, and decisions around forgiveness. When chronic pain, illness, or disability affect mood and routine, she works with clients to build practical coping steps that fit their lives.

Her work includes hospice and end-of-life conversations and support for people facing mood disorders or substance use issues. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small steps, and the skills people can use between appointments. Janet explains options plainly and partners with each person to make a plan that feels manageable.

Janet practices in Wisconsin and brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want that included. She keeps things respectful and patient-centered, helping people explore values and strengths as part of healing. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who choose her can expect a steady presence, practical tools, and a focus on real-life changes. She encourages questions and works at a pace each person can handle.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflections to build motivation and commitment for behaviors like reducing substance use or improving self-care.

Janet also integrates straightforward problem-solving to turn goals into steps. That often means identifying small actions a person can try between sessions and reviewing what worked and what didn’t on the next visit.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. Janet will review your concerns, goals, and preferences to choose strategies that fit your life. This collaborative process helps make therapy practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try different conversation styles with the same therapist to see what helps most.
