About Janet

Janet Jacobs is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy challenges, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, and many life transition issues.

Background and approach

Janet emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's knowledge of their own life while helping them build on existing strengths. Her approach centers on practical, evidence-informed techniques tailored to the individual's needs and goals.

Janet supports clients coping with sleep and eating concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, career difficulties, and other complex matters such as attachment and abandonment issues. She also assists those dealing with compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and substance-related problems, guiding clients toward clearer coping strategies and improved daily functioning.

Janet encourages taking that first step toward change and recognizes how much courage it can take to begin. She aims to create a steady, respectful therapeutic partnership that helps people clarify priorities, explore options, and practice skills that support sustained progress.

Evidence-Informed Methods and Online Care

Janet draws on well-established, evidence-based techniques that emphasize practical skills and collaborative problem solving. Cognitive approaches help people identify thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and attention-related difficulties and teach strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and improve daily functioning. Behavioral and skills-based interventions focus on building routines, coping strategies, and practical tools for managing sleep, eating, impulsivity, and stress-related behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janet works together with each client to determine which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She frames therapy as a partnership where methods are adjusted over time so the plan remains responsive and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow clients to connect from different locations and to select the communication style that best supports their comfort and progress.
