About Janette
Janette Hernandez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, body-image and codependency patterns.
Janette uses a person-centered way of working. That means she starts from what the client brings and adapts interventions around those concerns. Sessions often include practical tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches and skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is needed.
She pays attention to attachment and family-of-origin dynamics that shape how people relate. That can look like mapping patterns of expectations and boundaries that were learned in childhood. When codependent patterns appear, she helps clients notice how they keep putting others first and what small changes might feel manageable.
Mindfulness practices are used to help with stress, anxiety, and mood symptoms. Clients learn short, simple grounding skills to interrupt rumination and to practice being present with difficult feelings. These are paired with problem-focused steps for concrete life issues.
Janette has worked with individual adults, youth, and families on a range of concerns over her eight years of practice. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where clients bring their knowledge of themselves and she offers clinical tools and structure to test new ways of coping.
How sessions work
How Janette's approaches translate to online work
Janette uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when people notice repeated problems in relationships or trouble trusting others. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way sessions are held, with the therapist following the client's pace and priorities and reflecting what the client brings each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and codependent routines.Finding which approach fits is part of the work. Janette collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She may mix listening and reflection with skill-building exercises and homework, and she adjusts the plan if something is not working. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Other practical benefits include being able to practice skills between sessions in real-life settings and using written or audio tools when those methods suit the person's needs.
