About Janet

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work in Florida. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and focuses on practical help for common life struggles. Her approach centers on listening first and helping people build on their own strengths.

Janet helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports people facing relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting strain, anger, and career transitions.

Background and approach

She works with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder and with life changes like adoption, caregiver stress, and blended family issues. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can try between meetings.

She invites people to name small goals and to notice gradual progress rather than chasing instant fixes. Practices Janet uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. These tools are used to reduce overwhelming thoughts, build healthier habits, and reframe personal stories that feel stuck.

Janet aims to make therapy an accessible part of everyday life. She encourages honest talk about what feels hard and what people already do well. That practical focus helps clients move forward with more confidence.

People who reach out can expect steady support, clear options, and respect for their experience as the starting point for change.

Online support

How Janet’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and following their pace; used online it means sessions begin by hearing your priorities and building goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific tools to change them, which works well in video or phone sessions where homework and skill practice are assigned between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision based on what the person needs, their goals, and what feels comfortable. She may try a few techniques early on and adjust plans as progress or new concerns emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrating skills, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick strategy coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options are intended to make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
