About Janine

Janine Best is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 13 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, career questions, and symptoms of depression.

Janine uses clear, respectful conversation to help clients set practical goals. She adjusts session topics and pacing to each person's needs rather than using a single format. Her approach emphasizes building confidence, improving coping skills, and clarifying next steps when life feels overwhelming.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is happening now and what might help next. Janine focuses on skills for managing anxiety, strategies for getting through grief, and ways to regain motivation after losses or big transitions. Sessions often involve identifying small, doable steps that fit daily life.

She brings 13 years of professional practice to sessions and draws on methods that are evidence based. Janine also speaks Haitian Creole in addition to English, which can help when cultural or language factors matter in care.

To begin, people follow the site booking path and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Janine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like anxiety and grief. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing and behavioral strategies that reduce overwhelming feelings and increase day-to-day functioning. Another approach concentrates on grief and loss, helping people process emotions, organize memories, and find manageable ways to move forward after change.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Janine collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as problems shift over time, so therapy stays relevant and doable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, and reduce travel time so appointments can happen around work or school. Speak with the therapist through the booking process to identify which session format will work best for your life and needs.
