About Janet

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work in Florida.

Background and approach

Holding LMHC and LCPC credentials, she helps people address a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, addiction, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and mood disorders such as bipolar. Her background also includes work with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and life transitions.

Janet practices from a strength-based perspective, viewing each person as the expert on their own life and partnering with them to build on existing resources. She blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with client-centered and narrative approaches to tailor care to each client's needs.

Her aim is to empower clients to take courageous steps toward meaningful change while offering steady support and practical skills for coping and growth. Available to clients in Florida, Janet communicates in English and offers a mix of session formats to fit different preferences and schedules.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on clarifying goals, improving daily functioning, and strengthening resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Janet commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical strategies to change behavior and emotional responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and partnership, creating space for clients to explore their own values and solutions at their own pace.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients test which techniques fit their goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single path. Together they assess needs, try different strategies, and adjust the plan so the approach aligns with what matters most to the client and what produces real improvements in daily life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to work on skills, receive coaching between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or travel make in-person visits difficult. The variety of formats helps people find a rhythm that supports consistent progress while accommodating busy lives.
