Janet Hardy, LPC

Janet Hardy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who offers telemental health counseling to adults. She focuses on everyday pressures like stress and anxiety, as well as parenting, relationship struggles, depression, and trauma. Janet works with young adults, parents, and people in the LGBTQIA+ community and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.

Her approach starts with building a trusting relationship where clients can talk about hard feelings and vulnerabilities. She centers sessions on empathy and respect, using a person-centered style that helps people feel heard. Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and progress is checked in regularly.

Janet combines several methods to fit each person’s situation. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and on cognitive behavioral strategies to address stressful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness tools are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

She also integrates hypnotherapy when it suits a client’s needs and preferences. Janet sees problems as coming from many places - environment, learned habits, development, and culture - and she tailors care to reflect that complexity. Her work aims to give practical tools people can use between sessions.

Janet practices from Mississippi and communicates in English. Before beginning services, clients are asked to provide proof of identity and an emergency contact. To start, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online care

Janet uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques that work well in online therapy. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past connections affect current stress and intimacy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most in everyday life.
