About Janet

Janet Van Natta is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Wisconsin with 26 years of experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and big life changes. Her work often centers on improving self-esteem and daily coping.

Janet pays particular attention to midlife transitions and issues that come with aging. She also supports people dealing with isolation, seasonal mood shifts, or the emotional fallout of divorce and separation. Her practice includes concerns such as guilt, shame, and struggles with purpose.

Background and approach

In sessions she aims to build a steady, understanding space where people can talk through what feels most urgent. Conversations focus on practical coping skills and clearer ways to communicate with others. Janet encourages steps people can try between meetings to notice small changes.

She addresses communication problems and patterns of control or conflict that make daily life harder. For those facing emotional abuse or domestic violence history, she works at the client’s pace on safety and recovery goals. Janet also helps people process grief and forgive themselves or others when that becomes part of healing.

Her style is straightforward and calm. People leave sessions with clearer options and doable next steps. Janet’s long experience informs how she tailors support to each person’s situation and goals.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Janet lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Janet uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach she uses teaches clearer ways to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping with anxiety and low mood by practicing new habits. Another approach centers on processing loss and difficult feelings through guided conversation and coping plans, which can be useful for grief and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts methods over time so the approach matches the client’s needs and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, short reflections, or when fitting support around a busy day. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
