About Janet

Janet Martinez brings 18 years of experience as an LMHC to work with people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression, and a wide range of related concerns including ADHD. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental setting where clients can explore difficult feelings and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her bilingual skills in English and Spanish support clearer communication for a broader range of clients across Florida and beyond. Her practice draws on several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs, combining practical coping tools with deeper emotional work.

Janet blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused methods to address patterns that keep problems cycling. She also integrates skills from dialectical behavior therapy and existential perspectives when the situation calls for learning emotional regulation, improving relationships, or clarifying life meaning.

Janet works with people who are ready to take an active role in change and values collaboration in setting goals. She accepts international clients and offers flexible formats to fit different schedules and preferences, while explaining options clearly so clients can choose what works best for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Janet frequently integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to meet clients where they are. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients can explore feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and daily functioning.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns, teaching concrete skills for distress tolerance and balanced decision-making. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Janet partners with each client to assess goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats provide greater scheduling flexibility and allow clients to work with a licensed professional from different locations, supporting continuity of care and easier integration of therapy into busy lives.
