About Janet

Janet Siegel is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with a decade of professional experience working primarily in school-based settings.

Background and approach

She has helped people address a broad range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD, and brings practical experience supporting self-esteem, motivation, and parenting challenges. Janet also has training in art therapy and can blend creative methods with talk-based interventions when that approach fits a client's needs.

Janet emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care, adapting conversation and treatment plans to each person's unique situation. She aims to collaborate with clients to shape therapy around realistic goals and individual preferences, acknowledging that beginning therapy is an important step.

Her practice in California places priority on creating a supportive environment where evidence-based approaches and expressive tools can be combined to address life transitions, emotional regulation, and interpersonal concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Janet uses evidence-based techniques alongside creative methods to support emotional growth and practical problem solving. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and increase effective coping. Expressive art therapy integrates drawing or other creative media into sessions to help access feelings, build insight, and explore identity when words alone feel limited.

Choosing the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Janet will work with clients to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences and then adapt techniques over time so the plan fits each person's pace and situation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible for people balancing school, work, or family commitments. These formats allow consistent access to a licensed professional and provide ways to continue care when in-person visits are impractical, while still supporting therapeutic connection and progress.
