About Janet

Janet Eddy brings 11 years of clinical experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation, while also addressing issues such as bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work often includes support for those struggling with complex experiences like trauma, dissociation, panic attacks, and caregiver or end-of-life concerns. Her approach centers on creating a nonjudgmental space where clients can express thoughts and feelings openly.

She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Janet collaborates with clients to identify goals, explore values, and build practical skills for coping and resilience.

Janet emphasizes that reaching out for help is a brave step, and she aims to support clients through change with patience and respect. Sessions are offered in multiple online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences within Missouri.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Janet uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) among other approaches. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related issues. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and building psychological flexibility, helping people move toward meaningful goals even when difficult emotions are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. Together they review goals, preferences, and the nature of the challenges at hand, and adjust methods over time so treatment remains aligned with each person’s needs.

Online therapy is offered through several formats to increase accessibility and convenience: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage from home or other locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue work between live meetings through messaging. Licensed professionals aim to make care flexible and practical so clients can pursue progress in ways that suit their daily life.
