About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 17 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and low self-esteem. Janeen speaks English and works with clients on a range of mood and behavior concerns including depression, addictions, and social anxiety and phobia.

She focuses on practical, straightforward sessions. Conversations cover what is happening now, what feels hard, and what a person wants to change. Janeen uses clear strategies so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That means she looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact, helps people notice values and choices, and keeps the person’s goals at the center of the work. Sessions also include techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when helpful.

Janeen has worked across many concerns over her career, including panic attacks, PTSD, postpartum depression, ADHD, grief, and adjustment after disasters. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Her experience includes helping people build skills for sleeping, mood regulation, and relapse prevention.

People who reach out can expect direct conversation and clear next steps. The first meetings focus on understanding current struggles and setting simple goals. From there Janeen and the client plan concrete skills and small experiments to practice between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Janeen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and manage mood. ACT helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings arise.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Janeen treats the selection as a partnership, discussing goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusting approaches based on how a person responds. That way the plan fits both the issue and the person’s daily life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings between meetings, which can help with social anxiety and phobias by creating chances to try new behaviors in familiar routines.
