About Janette
Janette Hernandez, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California, has eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and other life challenges using a person-centered style and practical therapeutic tools.
Janette describes her approach as client-centered. She says the person is the expert on their life and she brings her skills to help people talk through problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps. Cognitive-behavioral techniques are part of her toolbox when they fit a person's needs.
She has worked with adults, youth, and families on relationship problems, trauma, and mood concerns. That experience includes addressing communication problems, family of origin issues, and struggles with grief and loss. She also helps with eating and body image concerns, addiction-related issues, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Janette incorporates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness exercises to teach coping strategies for strong emotions. Solution-focused methods are used for short-term problem solving and building practical habits.
In sessions she aims to combine direct skills practice with listening and problem solving. People can expect a straightforward conversation about goals and the steps to reach them. To begin, she asks people to share their concerns and what they want to change.

How her approaches translate to online work
Janette uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters most to the person in front of her, listening and shaping sessions around the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice specific behavior changes for anxiety, depression, and mood issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness are offered for emotion regulation and stress management, teaching grounding and distress-tolerance techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on progress and preferences. The process is collaborative and practical, with regular check-ins about what's helping and what to change.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use video or phone options depending on what they offer, and Janette will discuss which format best supports a person's goals when arranging the first session.
