About Janee

Janee Anez is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 18 years of professional experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines practical skills and empathic listening to help clients explore patterns that contribute to distress and develop clearer ways to respond when life feels overwhelming. Her practice centers on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space where emotions and thoughts can be expressed and examined.

She draws on approaches such as Internal Family Systems to help clients understand internal parts, and uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to build concrete coping tools. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies support clients in setting achievable goals and taking steps toward change.

Clients can expect collaborative work that balances short-term problem solving with deeper exploration of personal history and meaning. She frames therapy as a partnership and supports each person at their own pace while helping them build resilience and greater clarity about values and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people notice and relate to the different parts of their inner experience, such as protective or vulnerable voices, so they can reduce internal conflict and respond with greater compassion and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing alternative strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with clients to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with varied schedules and needs. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations within Minnesota and to continue work consistently amid life changes and responsibilities.
