About Janee

Janee Anez is a Minnesota LICSW with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Janee also focuses on family of origin issues and related topics such as communication problems and caregiver stress.

She uses practical, talk-based methods to help people sort through patterns that started in childhood and still show up now. Sessions include looking at thought patterns, building clearer communication, and learning small habits that can reduce daily stress. Work often centers on identifying repeated roles and expectations learned in the family and how those influence current relationships.

Janee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts and behaviors, and on Mindfulness Therapy to add simple awareness practices. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what a person wants to change, Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals, and Internal Family Systems to notice different parts of oneself during difficult moments.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations tend to focus on next steps and small experiments to try between sessions. Meetings are paced to fit what each person needs at the moment.

Janee practices in Minnesota and works in English. People who grew up in families with lasting patterns - around roles, conflict, or closeness - will find direct attention to those origins in her work. To begin, the site’s scheduling tools guide you through a short questionnaire and booking process.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can use structured exercises and homework to practice those changes between meetings, which helps with anxiety, mood, and relationship patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. In virtual meetings these exercises are guided in real time and can be adapted to fit busy schedules or short check-in times.

Motivational Interviewing helps clarify what a person most wants to change and builds small steps toward that goal. That conversational approach works well over video or phone because it centers on values and next actions rather than long assessments.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Plans can be adjusted as work progresses so methods match current needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter video check-in during a lunch break, or a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Those practical benefits can help therapy feel manageable while addressing patterns tied to family of origin.
