About Janet
Janet Kuykendall is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
Janet treats people as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and patterns in how someone thinks and acts. From there she offers clear strategies to test and adjust those patterns. The approach is straightforward and aimed at usable change rather than jargon.
Her background includes several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thinking traps and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's goals and experience. Mindfulness techniques are used to steady attention and ease intense moments.
Janet also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and to build motivation for change. Narrative Therapy is used when reworking painful stories about oneself or relationships makes sense. These methods are mixed to match the problem at hand rather than applied as a single rule.
People seeking help for anger will find concrete coping skills, ways to notice triggers, and communication strategies to reduce spillover into close relationships. Her style is direct and practical, with an emphasis on short-term tools and longer-term habit changes.
To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a first session so the work can start.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and goals. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on listening, clarifying what matters, and planning practical next steps that fit the person's life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; online CBT sessions commonly include simple worksheets, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy offers attention exercises and short practices to lower reactivity and manage strong feelings, which can be taught and practiced during remote sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process, checking in and adjusting if something does not feel helpful.
Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats are also easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent while working on stress, anger, relationships, and behavior change.
