About Janet
Janet Hardy is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Mississippi with 10 years of clinical experience working with adults. She offers telemental health counseling for concerns such as parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, and issues commonly faced by young adults.
Her practice views problems as coming from multiple sources - environment, learned habits, biology, culture, and personal history. She uses a person-centered stance that focuses on listening, honesty, and accepting clients without judgment. Sessions aim to build a working relationship where people can name what feels hard and set clear goals.
Janet blends approaches to match the situation. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies and hypnotherapy can be used when appropriate to teach emotion regulation and grounded skills.
She works with a wide range of topics including stress, grief, intimacy concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and LGBTQ matters. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, and non-monogamous relationships. The emphasis is on practical steps individuals can try between sessions.
Sessions are delivered through telemental health. Before beginning services, clients will need to provide proof of identity and an emergency contact. The therapist asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Janet commonly draws on attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships affect current patterns in intimacy and trust, and they can help people who struggle with closeness or repeated relationship difficulties. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Sessions are delivered through telemental health, so confirm the exact session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a school or work day, shorten commute time, and allow for simpler check-ins when schedules are tight. Some methods, like CBT skill practice or brief DBT coaching, translate well to remote sessions and can be supported with exercises between appointments.
