About Janee
Janee Anez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her work often focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.
She uses clear conversation to identify what is most pressing for each person. Sessions focus on what a client wants to change and on small, doable steps toward those goals. Janee leans on approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing loss, life transitions, and mood concerns. That experience informs how she guides people through coping strategies and planning for real-life pressures. She pays attention to communication problems and family of origin issues when those things affect current relationships.
Janee also works with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster-care related concerns, and first-responder stress. She brings practical methods like solution-focused techniques and motivational interviewing to help clients clarify next steps and stay motivated.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She invites clients to name what matters most and then helps them build small habits and skills that fit everyday life. People who want support adjusting to new roles, jobs, or losses may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In practice that means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what helps reduce anxiety or low mood.Mindfulness therapy focuses on learning simple awareness skills. These practices help people notice stress or strong emotions without immediately reacting, which can reduce overwhelm and improve concentration during school or work.
Motivational interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused method that helps someone find their own reasons for change. It can be useful when a person feels stuck starting a new routine or making a life transition.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest methods to try together. That plan can shift as progress is made.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online meetings can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work, or caregiving by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering audio-only meetings if video is difficult. These practical benefits can help therapy fit into a busy young adult life.
