About Janet

LMFT Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than labels or treatments alone.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what matters to them and what gets in the way. That often means looking at thoughts and behaviors, strengthening attachment patterns, and noticing values that can guide daily choices. Janet draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-based work, and client-centered listening in session.

Appointments are conversational and action-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through recent problems, try simple exercises, and set small, doable goals between meetings. Janet invites people to bring concrete situations from home or work to each session so progress connects to everyday life.

She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction concerns, sleep or eating struggles, anger, and caregiver stress. Additional topics she addresses include blended family questions, abandonment issues, and the emotional effects of illness or aging.

Janet aims to help people build steady, practical habits that reduce overwhelm at home. She encourages self-reflection and clear steps forward. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site’s booking process and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It helps people cope with anxiety, grief, or parenting stress by teaching skills for noticing thoughts and choosing value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand repeated conflicts and attachment worries.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Janet will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as issues change or new goals emerge.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills between meetings and keep therapy connected to daily life.
