About Janet

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor with an established practice rooted in practical, down-to-earth support. She holds the LMHC and LCPC credentials and brings 12 years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Janet emphasizes strength and collaboration in sessions. She speaks English and practices in Florida.

Janet believes clients know the core of their own story. In meetings she asks questions, listens closely, and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on skills and steps a person can use between appointments, not just conversations during them.

Her background includes work with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, coping after loss, addiction-related struggles, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar challenges, career stress, and changes that come with aging or caregiving roles. Janet uses a mix of approaches tailored to the issue at hand.

In practice she blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to help people shift unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. The goal is steady progress and clearer choices, rather than quick fixes.

Janet encourages people to start small and be curious about what works. She helps clients set manageable goals and track what changes, so therapy fits real life and everyday demands.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which approaches to try first. She adapts methods over time based on what is helpful and what fits a person's life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut travel time, and let someone join from a convenient location. It also supports shorter check-ins or sessions timed around work breaks when needed. Talk with the therapist during the intake process about scheduling and what format would work best.
