About Janet

Janet Dove is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. She also supports clients facing addictions, ADHD, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or caregiving stress.

Janet focuses on exploring patterns that began in the family people grew up in. She pays attention to attachment and how early roles and expectations still show up in adult relationships. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at noticing repeated habits and testing small changes in real life.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and attachment-based methods. That means Janet helps people clarify values, try new behaviors, and understand how beliefs and emotions affect daily choices. She also uses existential ideas to look at meaning and responsibility when life feels uncertain.

In sessions she works to create a steady, respectful relationship where clients can speak openly about what is hard. Work often includes building simple coping strategies, practicing new communication skills, and tracking progress between meetings. Janet asks direct questions, offers observations, and helps plan concrete next steps.

People who come to her often want help changing long-standing family patterns, improving relationships, or managing anxiety and grief. To get started she asks clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the practice intake process.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online work

Janet uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is often used for anxiety, stress, and decisions about work or relationships.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early family roles shape adult closeness and trust. This approach helps when repeated patterns in relationships cause frustration or distance.

Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Janet will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those goals. That collaborative testing helps identify what feels useful and what can be adjusted over time.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so therapeutic work is easier to keep up with. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help sessions feel manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
