Janet Dove, LMFT

Janet Dove is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, motivation, and related issues such as codependency and attachment struggles. Janet uses straightforward, conversational work that helps people talk through what is happening and try new ways of coping.

She begins sessions by listening to how a person describes their life and the patterns that cause strain. Conversations move from understanding what keeps someone stuck toward small, practical shifts that feel doable. Janet draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based practices to build tolerance for difficult feelings.

Her approach also pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Attachment-based ideas help name repeating dynamics and offer alternatives for managing closeness and distance. Client-centered methods mean the person’s goals and pace guide each session rather than a preset plan.

Janet works with a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, addictions, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and mood concerns like depression. She also addresses life transitions such as divorce, aging, and career changes. Sessions aim to increase practical skills for boundaries, communication, and emotion regulation.

People who struggle with putting others first, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s moods often come to focus on clearer limits and steadier self-direction. To start, she asks a few questions about current difficulties, then co-creates a plan that fits the person’s day-to-day life.
