Janet Dove, LMFT

Janet Dove is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on practical, compassionate care. She greets anxious or overwhelmed people with calm, direct support and helps them take the first steps toward change. Her way of working emphasizes a trusting relationship and straightforward tools you can use day to day.

Janet centers sessions on what matters most to each person. She helps with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and struggles around work and life changes. She also addresses relationship concerns, parenting stress, addiction-related issues, and trauma and abuse in ways that feel manageable.

Her approach blends a few different methods so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around. Sessions include exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts, build values-based goals, and strengthen attachment and connection. Janet uses clear language and concrete steps so coping skills can be practiced between visits.

With six years of experience, she has worked with people handling intense loss, career transitions, and the long slow work of rebuilding confidence. She aims to make people feel heard, understood, and respected as they pursue steady progress.

Janet practices in Florida and uses a warm, nonjudgmental style. She invites people to take the small next step of asking for help and partners with them to develop skills, self-knowledge, and lasting improvements in everyday life.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what really matters and take small actions that match those values. It focuses on noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck and building a life that matters to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships and early connection shape current responses, and it can help people improve trust, closeness, and communication.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then tailor methods to match. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted over time based on what is actually working.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try different ways of working and then bring practiced skills into daily routines. Licensed professionals can help set clear goals and use ACT, CBT, or attachment-focused work effectively through remote sessions when those formats are available.
