About Janet

Janet Martinez is a Florida-based LMHC with 18 years of clinical experience who welcomes people seeking help for stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, depression, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings and patterns and work toward clearer priorities, healthier connections, and improved coping skills. Janet is bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows her to communicate comfortably with a broader range of clients.

Her practice integrates evidence-based tools alongside an internal systems perspective to help clients understand the parts of themselves that drive behavior and emotion. Practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused methods are used when helpful to address symptoms and improve communication.

Over nearly two decades of work, she has supported people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and complex family dynamics, among other concerns. Janet emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s values and goals.

She guides clients through manageable steps toward change while honoring their pace and preferences. Prospective clients can expect an approachable clinician who combines clinical knowledge with warmth and clear focus on what matters to them.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Janet often draws on Internal Family Systems to help clients recognize and dialogue with the different parts of themselves, a perspective that can clarify internal conflicts and reduce self-criticism. Client-Centered Therapy is another central approach she uses, emphasizing empathic listening, validation, and a collaborative relationship to support personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical strategies for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building new coping skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and life context and will integrate or adjust methods as therapy progresses to ensure interventions feel relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy lives and for international clients. These formats allow continuing care across locations and schedules while making it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and access support when needed.
