About Janette

Janette Hernandez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses a person-centered approach to help people facing stress and life transitions. She draws on eight years of experience in California to support adults with worries about relationships, mood, trauma, and coping with change.

She listens first and asks simple questions about what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings, and on building awareness of patterns that cause pain. Janette works collaboratively so people feel more in control of daily choices.

Her background includes work with adults, youth, and families who have struggled with depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship conflict. Janette blends cognitive-behavioral tools with client-centered and attachment-based ideas to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, grief, eating and body-image problems, intimacy issues, and addiction-related challenges. She also supports people dealing with shame, isolation, codependency, and family-of-origin problems.

Janette emphasizes clear, manageable goals and teaches skills for emotion regulation and communication. People leave sessions with concrete strategies they can use at home and ways to track progress over time. To begin, she asks about priorities and works with clients to set realistic steps forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Attachment-based work focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they ask for support, respond to closeness, and repeat old cycles in current relationships. Cognitive-behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them, which can help with anxiety, mood, and eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques during sessions, and adjust the plan based on what fits the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where feedback shapes the direction of treatment.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and thought-tracking between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
