About Janet
Janet Jacobs is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 28 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and motivation struggles. She also supports concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and issues tied to parenting or career changes.
Janet describes clients as the experts in their own stories and focuses on helping them use their strengths to manage daily challenges. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps break issues into practical steps. Conversations tend to focus on specific problems, coping strategies, and small changes that can make life more manageable.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Wisconsin settings supporting people through life transitions and emotional setbacks. Over nearly three decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns from chronic stress and anxiety to bipolar mood challenges and compassion fatigue. This breadth gives her experience with both short-term goals and longer-term work when needed.
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps the work focused on what the client wants to address first. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice skills between sessions. The tone is direct and practical, with attention to daily routines, sleep and eating issues, and relationship communication.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are accepted. Language of service is English.
How therapeutic approaches and online work come together
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach is structured skill work that teaches specific ways to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, graded exposure to feared situations, and stepwise goal setting to rebuild confidence. Another approach emphasizes behavior change around daily routines to help with sleep, eating, and motivation by creating simple plans and small, measurable steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janet treats this as a collaborative process - she will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. The client’s goals and preferences guide which techniques get used and how quickly the focus shifts.
Confirm the current session options before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people try talking through specific social situations from wherever they are, practice skills between sessions, and bring current problems into therapy in real time.
