About Janieth
Dr. Janieth Burton is a Pennsylvania Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS006561L) with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, mood issues, and adjustment concerns including college and career transitions.
She helps people who struggle with relationships, parenting, ADHD-related focusing problems, and workplace conflict. Social anxiety and phobia are among the specific concerns she lists. She also provides care for older adults and supports people coping with grief, trauma, and life changes.
Her practice includes psychological evaluation and assessment when those services will support therapy. Evaluations are used to clarify issues and guide treatment choices rather than to label people. Over her career she has worked with an array of therapeutic approaches to fit different needs.
In session she uses methods that emphasize the client’s perspective, practical problem solving, and attention to thought patterns and present experience. That means conversations about what is happening now, looking at thinking patterns that get in the way, and practicing new ways of responding.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to help clients find readiness for change and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that affect current life. Dr. Burton has experience using virtual therapy and can discuss how that might fit a client’s schedule and goals.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The intake helps identify concerns and which approaches may be most useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s experience and following what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a calm place to talk through feelings and figure out priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and gives concrete steps to test new ways of thinking and acting; it can be useful for anxiety, social fears, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and notice patterns that keep problems going.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and everyday life. That means adjusting pace, trying different techniques, and checking in on what helps most.
