Janet Ready, LMSW, LCSW

Janet Ready is a bilingual therapist who has practiced for 20 years. She works in English and Spanish and sees people from Colorado and beyond. Janet focuses on everyday struggles like stress and anxiety along with depression, addictions, sleep problems, and relationship concerns.

Janet keeps her sessions warm and conversational. She asks about what matters to each person and listens before suggesting steps forward. Her style combines mindfulness, a person-centered focus, and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

In practical terms she uses dialogue to build a plan that fits the person's life. That plan can include short skills work, tracking thoughts and behaviors, or practicing mindful moments between sessions. Janet aims to make the work feel useful and doable rather than overwhelming.

She also supports people facing challenges with parenting stress, anger, career pressures, eating concerns, and bipolar mood patterns. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of problems and brings that experience into each session.

Janet invites people to introduce themselves and begin a conversation about what they hope to change. She focuses on small, steady steps and partners with clients to find approaches that match their needs and daily routines.

How Janet’s approaches work in online therapy

Janet uses mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches alongside a person-centered focus. Mindfulness helps people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment, which can reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to shift mood and habits. The person-centered element keeps the conversation focused on each person’s priorities and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try first based on goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels most comfortable. That plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs emerge.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Phone sessions may offer a simpler setup and use less bandwidth, while video can help preserve face-to-face conversation. Confirm the available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
