About Janet
Janet Hardy is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Mississippi with 10 years of experience offering telemental health counseling to adults. She works with concerns such as parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues affecting LGBTQIA+ people. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than clinical jargon.
She frames problems as coming from many places - environment, learned habits, values, biology, culture, and personal history. That means she blends several methods instead of relying on one single model. Clients can expect conversations that look at patterns and everyday interactions that keep problems going.
Janet emphasizes building a strong working relationship first. Early sessions typically map what matters most and set short-term goals. From there she uses client-centered listening, attachment ideas, and skills-based tools to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating and coping.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior skills for managing mood, anxiety, and emotional distress. Hypnotherapy is listed among her approaches and may be discussed as part of treatment when appropriate.
Her background includes work with parents, young adults, and LGBTQIA+ clients, and she lists a range of family-related concerns such as adoption, blended family issues, and family-of-origin problems. Proof of identity and an emergency contact are required before services can begin.
How sessions work
How Janet’s approaches translate to online sessions
Janet uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered care to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people notice and change recurring relational habits. Client-centered methods focus on careful listening and on building a cooperative relationship so the client can set goals and try new ways of responding.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice concrete alternatives. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors because it teaches specific skills people can apply between sessions. Together these approaches give both understanding and practical steps to manage symptoms and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting as progress is made. This is a shared process where goals, preferences, and life demands guide which tools are used.
