About Janette
Janette Hernandez is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma, and issues like anger and addiction. Janette uses a person-centered stance and treats people as the experts in their own lives.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical steps. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-aware conversations to help people notice patterns that fuel anger, resentment, or frequent arguments. She also teaches coping skills drawn from mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to reduce reactivity and manage strong feelings.
Janette has worked with individuals, youth, and families in community and clinical settings. That background gives her experience in common life challenges - grief, career stress, body image and intimacy struggles, and family-of-origin issues. She aims to translate therapeutic concepts into day-to-day tools people can use between sessions.
In a typical meeting she listens for how past attachment experiences and current behavior interact. Then she and the client pick a few practical skills to try - thought tracking, boundary practice, or brief grounding exercises. Progress is measured by changes in how a person responds to triggers rather than by labels.
People who reach out should expect straightforward conversations, skill practice, and regular check-ins on what works. Sessions are conducted in English and follow her LMFT scope under California regulation.
How sessions work
How Janette applies therapy online and her main approaches
Janette often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work when addressing anger and relationship strain. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can reduce reactive responses. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape present reactions and helps people practice different ways of relating.She also uses client-centered and mindfulness strategies to slow things down in the moment. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and the client's perspective, while mindfulness teaches short exercises to check in with bodily sensations and emotions before acting.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Therapy plans are adjusted over time based on what the client says is helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove commute time. Different formats also have practical trade-offs - phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for quick updates, while video sessions let you work on interpersonal skills with visual feedback. Ask about available options when you schedule.
