About Janette
Janette Hernandez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults and youth on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and life stressors. Janette describes her style as person-centered and collaborative, focusing on what the client brings to the room and building from there.
She uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside attachment-based and mindfulness approaches. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and practicing new skills. Janette also draws on dialectical behavior therapy tools for emotion regulation and coping when needed.
Her background includes work with people facing grief, addictions, body image and eating concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. She supports people coping with abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. These areas often come up alongside anxiety and stress in her practice.
Janette aims to match strategies to each person's situation. That can mean short-term, goal-focused work or a longer process to address deeper patterns. She encourages clear goals, steady skill building, and regular check-ins about progress.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practices under her California LMFT credential. People who want to begin are invited to use the site's matching step to schedule a first session and see which options fit their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Janette combines attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how those patterns influence current behavior. Client-centered work focuses on listening carefully and following the person's concerns rather than imposing a set plan. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through practical exercises.Choosing which approach to use is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That can mean trying short skill-focused CBT interventions or slower attachment-focused conversations depending on what helps most.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make checking in easier around work or caregiving responsibilities and allow for different ways to practice skills between meetings. Because session formats were not specified in the original biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know what format will be used and how to plan for it.
