About Janette

Janette Gunn is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Her profile also notes a focus on isolation, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia.

Janette began her early career working in a domestic violence shelter and later supported teens in treatment foster care who had survived severe trauma. Those roles shaped how she approaches difficult life experiences and loss. She draws on many years of hands-on work with people who have layered histories of trauma and mood concerns.

Her practice uses a mix of approaches. She emphasizes attachment-based ideas that look at relationship patterns and client-centered methods that center the person's own perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques appear in her work to address unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills.

Janette frames therapy as a collaborative process. She talks through goals and adapts conversations and plans to what each person needs. She aims to combine practical skills, emotion-focused work, and attention to past relational experiences when relevant.

She provides services in English and is based in Wisconsin. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process.

How Janette’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape patterns in current relationships. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. In remote sessions that means the therapist listens closely and uses the client's goals to guide what comes next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can include straightforward exercises, thought records, and homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions are made together rather than imposed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what will work best in practice.
