About Janet
Janet Hardy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 10 years of experience helping adults with parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She provides telemental health counseling to adults and works with young adults, parents, and people in the LGBTQIA+ community. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Janet describes problems as coming from many sources - environment, learned behaviors, biology, culture, and personal history. She uses that view to guide conversations about how family patterns and early relationships affect current choices and feelings. That includes attention to family of origin issues and attachment concerns when they are relevant.
Her approach centers on a client-centered stance that values direct listening and clear feedback. Clients will talk through current stresses, patterns in relationships, and goals for change. She also integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and new ways to respond to strong emotions.
Janet includes hypnotherapy as an option and draws on attachment-based ideas when working on relationship and intimacy-related issues. Sessions aim to help people build practical skills for handling anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions while also looking at patterns carried from childhood.
Before services begin she asks clients to provide proof of identity and an emergency contact. The first appointment is used to clarify goals, discuss methods, and plan next steps together.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Janet commonly integrates attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and intimacy. It can help people understand recurring roles and closeness boundaries that came from the family they grew up in. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with the client to choose strategies that fit their goals and preferences. That means discussing which methods to try, assessing how they are helping, and adjusting plans together over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can use skills-based exercises, conversational work, and guided methods during remote sessions to address stress, family patterns, and relationship concerns.
