About Janet
Janet Wise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and other life challenges. Janet’s practice also addresses issues like parenting, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, addiction, and career stress.
Janet uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage symptoms and set reachable goals. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on clear steps, skill building, and discussion about how to apply changes in daily life.
Her background includes extensive work with adults across the lifespan, from young adults to seniors, and experience supporting people with chronic illness and varied trauma histories. She has provided grief and crisis counseling in hospital settings and pastoral care through community religious programs.
Janet emphasizes collaboration. She talks with clients about priorities, helps identify what is getting in the way, and chooses approaches together. Her work also includes coaching elements for people who want concrete plans for change.
Outside of therapy, Janet is a licensed fitness instructor who teaches yoga, Enerchi (a form of Tai Chi), and cardio-fitness. That background informs her interest in body-based approaches such as mindfulness and movement as part of overall well-being.
How Janet applies therapeutic approaches online
Janet works from approaches that emphasize present skills and values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses values and acceptance strategies to help people keep moving toward meaningful goals despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janet discusses goals, the problems that get in the way, and what methods feel most useful. She adapts techniques from these approaches so they fit client priorities and preferences through ongoing conversation. Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current online options before booking.

They also let people try mindfulness exercises, behavior experiments, and skill practice in the context of their regular routine. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus to what fits each person’s life.Areas of expertise
