About Janet
Janet Lengsfelder is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of experience who draws on her background in nursing and long clinical practice to support people through emotional hardship. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, addictions, and trauma. The tone is practical and grounded, aimed at helping a person feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Janet began her career as a nurse and then moved into mental health to address whole-person needs. She completed a graduate degree and a three-year Gestalt therapy training that deepened her approach to emotional first aid. That combination of medical and therapeutic experience shapes how she sees health and healing.
In sessions she helps people notice their habitual patterns and life themes so they can make different choices. The work centers on strengthening a sense of self and increasing emotional awareness. Janet aims to reduce overwhelming panic and catastrophic thinking so feelings of disappointment or sadness become more manageable.
Her style blends attachment-based thinking, client-centered listening, emotionally focused techniques, the Gottman Method for relationship work, and mindfulness practices. She encourages gentle risk-taking in service of growth, with an emphasis on learning from life’s challenges. Janet describes herself as a fellow traveler who witnesses and supports each person’s process.
She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. People who are considering starting can expect straightforward, compassionate guidance with a focus on practical shifts that help daily functioning.
