About Janeka

Janeka McGee is an LCSW with 13 years of experience providing psychotherapy and clinical supervision. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career transitions, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across a broad range of life challenges and coaching needs, and she draws on evidence-based approaches to tailor care to each person's circumstances. Her style is warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental, emphasizing dignity and sensitivity.

Janeka blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical and emotionally-focused approaches to help clients develop practical coping strategies and stronger emotional awareness. She also integrates mindfulness practices where useful to support present-moment coping and regulation.

Based in Mississippi, Janeka accepts international clients and offers multiple session formats to fit different lifestyles. She encourages people who are ready to seek support to take the first step and says she will work collaboratively to set goals and build a plan that reflects each client's needs and values.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Janeka frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach can be helpful for problems like anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on practical skills and problem-solving. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while they define their own goals. Dialectical behavior therapy elements are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills are needed to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities, adjusting strategies over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Janeka is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options can make scheduling easier and allow people to access care from different locations or routines while maintaining consistent therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
