Janisse Rothford, LCPC, LPCC

Janisse Rothford is a licensed counselor who brings a practical, person-focused approach to helping people manage difficult life moments. She uses clear, direct conversation to address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Janisse seeks to meet each person where they are and tailor the work to individual needs.

Her background includes ten years of clinical experience and licensure in Nevada and California as LCPC and LPCC. Much of her earlier work involved supporting military-connected families, which shaped her focus on communication, coping skills, and life transitions. That experience informs how she helps people facing isolation, family problems, or the challenges of midlife change.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage strong emotions and on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern. Conversations are adapted to each person’s goals and pace.

Janisse emphasizes respectful, compassionate care. She works with clients to set clear goals and build skills for everyday life, like calming strategies, improved communication, and decision-making around life purpose and self-love. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. Sessions are organized to fit into real life while focusing on practical change and clearer direction.

How Janisse's Methods Translate to Online Work

Client-centered therapy puts the person's priorities first and focuses on listening and understanding. Online sessions using this approach let people talk about what matters most and set goals together. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses clear exercises and skill practice to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it can help with anxiety, stress, and low mood by teaching concrete tools that a person can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janisse will collaborate with each person to decide whether client-centered listening, CBT exercises, or DBT skills are the best fit. She checks in on goals and adjusts the plan so the approach matches the person's needs and preferences.

The therapist's profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and use brief check-ins on challenging days. Others appreciate being able to try skill practice or guided mindfulness during a regular break. Ask about formats and scheduling when you sign up so sessions can be arranged to fit your routine.
