About Janet
Janet Martinez is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma, depression, and related life challenges. With 18 years of clinical experience, she focuses on building a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions and practical coping strategies.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses intimacy concerns, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, and issues around self-esteem and career transitions. Janet uses evidence-informed methods to tailor therapy to each person’s needs, drawing from cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and emotion-focused practices.
She speaks both English and Spanish and welcomes clients from within Florida as well as international clients. Her practice supports people coping with complex conditions such as bipolar disorder, chronic illness, attachment and abandonment issues, and neurodiversity-related concerns.
Clients find a pragmatic yet empathetic approach, with attention to skills-building, emotional processing, and meaningful life changes. Janet encourages anyone ready to take a first step toward better functioning and greater well-being to reach out and explore whether her style and experience are a good fit.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Janet commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also incorporates client-centered principles, offering empathic listening and a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that supports emotional exploration and personal growth. These approaches can be combined to address relationship conflicts, coping with life changes, and daily functioning concerns.
Finding the right fit is treated as a collaborative process. Janet works with each person to clarify goals, explore which methods feel most useful, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She emphasizes partnership in deciding when to introduce skill-building exercises, emotion-focused work, or existential reflections so therapy aligns with the client’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility around work, family, and geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, access bilingual support in English or Spanish, and continue momentum between sessions with messaging when appropriate.
