About Janisse

Janisse Rothford is a licensed clinician who combines practical, evidence-informed methods with empathic listening to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, and issues with self-esteem.

Background and approach

She brings ten years of professional experience to her work and draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy to create tailored plans that reflect each client's situation and goals. Janisse emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as the foundation for change.

Her practice also addresses communication and family problems, feelings of isolation or loneliness, questions about life purpose and midlife transitions, and concerns related to self-love and women's issues. Janisse adapts session structure and techniques to fit individual needs, offering collaborative, goal-oriented care that balances skills training with supportive dialogue.

She is licensed in Nevada and California and offers appointment availability Monday through Wednesday for those ready to begin the process.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Janisse commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy as foundation approaches in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety and to improve coping in daily life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring their values and goals.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns; DBT provides concrete skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Choosing the right method is part of the process, and Janisse collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for balancing appointments with work and family obligations and makes it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals. These formats allow practical use of skills between sessions and support continuity of care for people navigating stress, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
