About Janette

Janette Hernandez, LMFT, centers her work on collaborative, person-centered care that draws on cognitive behavioral ideas among other approaches. She brings eight years of clinical experience in California to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes listening first and tailoring tools to each person’s situation, whether addressing trauma, depression, or difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. Janette applies a blend of evidence-informed methods such as CBT, attachment-focused work, mindfulness, and DBT skills to build practical coping strategies and clearer communication patterns.

She has supported adults, youth, and families facing life transitions, addictions, grief, and family-of-origin issues, and she remains attentive to concerns like body image, codependency, and isolation.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (CA LMFT 108146), she integrates experience with a collaborative stance so clients can set goals and move at a pace that feels right. Her approach is adaptable across a broad range of concerns including career stress, bipolar mood management, compassion fatigue, and relationship conflict.

Janette invites people to explore strengths and develop new habits for stability and connection while working together toward clearer, achievable steps.

Integrating CBT and Attachment Work in Online Care

Janette often weaves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work to address thoughts, behaviors, and relational patterns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship experiences shape current connections and can help with intimacy issues, trust, and family dynamics.

Finding the most helpful approach is collaborative; Janette partners with clients to clarify goals and chooses methods that fit their needs and preferences. That process may include trying CBT techniques to target symptoms while also exploring attachment patterns when relationship themes arise, and adjustments are made over time to reflect progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access therapy from home or work, maintain continuity during life changes, and select the style of interaction that best supports one’s therapeutic goals.
