About Janet

Janet Hardy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who blends cognitive behavioral ideas with person-centered and attachment-focused perspectives.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience, she helps adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges by attending to both immediate patterns and the broader life context that shapes them. Her training also includes dialectical behavior techniques and hypnotherapy, which she draws on when appropriate to expand coping skills and emotional regulation.

Janet approaches therapy as a collaborative process that begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes empathy, genuine presence, and unconditional positive regard so clients can safely explore vulnerabilities and build insight.

Practical, goal-oriented interventions are combined with attention to attachment and life narrative, allowing for work on symptoms as well as the underlying factors that contribute to them. Janet offers telemental health services in a variety of formats and aims to tailor the pace and methods to each person’s needs and preferences.

Bringing CBT and Attachment Work to Online Therapy



CBT is focused on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and decrease distress; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping people understand connection needs and improve interpersonal functioning. Client-centered therapy centers on empathy, acceptance, and the therapeutic relationship to create a space where clients can explore values, identity, and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, then blend methods such as CBT, attachment-focused work, and person-centered techniques to suit the individual. This collaborative stance means treatment plans evolve based on what helps the client make progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or connect from different locations. These formats can support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and a consistent therapeutic relationship while allowing clients to choose the way they feel most comfortable engaging in care.
