Janet Martinez, LMHC

Janet Martinez is a Florida-based therapist who helps people facing relationship strain, jealousy, and intense emotions. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Janet speaks English and Spanish and draws on 18 years of experience to guide conversations and problem solving.

She aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental. Clients can expect a calm space to talk about family conflict, trauma and abuse, addiction, and mood concerns like anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career stress, and identity or intimacy questions.

Janet blends several approaches to meet each person where they are. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client, cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and emotion-focused work to address painful relationship feelings. These methods are used together to shape clear steps between sessions.

Practical skills for managing anger, improving sleep and eating patterns, and coping with life changes are common session topics. She also addresses longer-term issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and caregiver stress. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented while allowing space to process difficult emotions.

Janet trained and practices as an LMHC, licensed mental health counselor, in Florida. If Spanish is preferred she can converse in that language.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions are shaped by what feels most important to the person and progress is set at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It provides practical exercises and simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, and she adjusts the plan as goals evolve. That process includes talking about what techniques feel useful and which do not, so the care fits the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm current session formats before booking to understand how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow a calmer environment for practicing skills between sessions. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people make steady progress while balancing therapy with everyday life.
