About Janet
Janet Guthrie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with eight years of psychotherapy experience in Connecticut. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life changes. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to make therapy feel straightforward and doable for worried parents and busy people.
She draws on client-centered work to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her break problems into small, changeable steps so people can see progress between sessions.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for intense emotions and better interpersonal boundaries.

She explains ideas plainly and focuses on what can help today and this week. Janet has supported people through grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience. It helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into specific thoughts and behaviors to practice different responses; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress because homework and skill practice fit easily into daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills to manage strong feelings and reduce reactive behavior, which can be helpful for relationship strain and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as you go. That way the methods you use reflect your needs, preferences, and what actually helps in your routine.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you read visual cues and try exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework clarification, or quick coping reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity during transitions.
