About Janet

Janet Dove brings a practical, skills-oriented approach to therapy, using cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and attachment-informed work to help clients navigate life’s challenges.

Background and approach

As an LMFT licensed in Florida and North Carolina, she emphasizes building self-knowledge and practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Her practice combines structured strategies with attention to values and interpersonal patterns so clients can make meaningful changes in daily life.

With six years of clinical experience, she supports people dealing with career transitions, addiction-related struggles, parenting and family dynamics, body image and eating or sleeping issues, and the emotional fallout from trauma or loss. She also addresses less commonly named concerns such as codependency, commitment and control issues, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions aim to leave clients feeling heard and understood while developing confidence and practical coping skills. Janet frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on empowering clients to heal, grow, and sustain a greater sense of well-being in relation to themselves and others.

She welcomes those ready to take the next step and offers a patient, nonjudgmental space to begin that work.

Online approaches that combine skills and connection

Janet integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to build concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying their values, developing psychological flexibility, and taking actions that align with what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her attention to relationship patterns and emotional bonds, which can be helpful for intimacy concerns and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past, then adapts techniques from CBT, ACT, or attachment-focused work to suit those needs. The therapeutic plan is revisited as progress is made so treatment stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase scheduling flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage in structured skill practice, values clarification, and relational work from locations that fit their life, while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional for support and guidance.
