About Janet
Janet Wise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with three decades of practice in New York. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions, and many life changes. Janet brings a calm, direct manner to conversations and aims to help people find practical steps forward.
Clients meet a therapist who listens first and adapts methods to fit their needs. Sessions are grounded in real problem solving, skill practice, and steady emotional support.
Background and approach
Janet emphasizes collaboration, helping each person set goals they can work toward between meetings. Her background includes long experience with chronic illness, medical grief, and trauma from community violence. She has provided pastoral-style grief and crisis counseling in hospital settings and in community spaces.
Those experiences shaped her interest in helping people cope after loss and sudden change. Janet uses a mix of approaches including cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, acceptance-based work, emotionally-focused ideas, and client-centered listening. She avoids one-size-fits-all methods and tailors strategies to what a person needs right now.
She also integrates coaching skills when clients want practical plans for life, work, or relationships. Outside therapy, she teaches yoga, Enerchi (a tai chi-like practice), and cardio fitness. That movement work informs her view of whole-person care - mind, body, and spirit.
If someone wants to talk about coping, grief, or rebuilding after trauma, Janet aims to provide steady, compassionate guidance.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and practical change
Janet uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then practice simple changes to feel better and function more effectively. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed steps toward what matters. Emotionally-focused ideas show up in her work when the issue is closeness or trust in relationships, helping people name feelings and change interaction patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janet talks with each person about goals and preferences, tests techniques, and adjusts the plan so it fits day-to-day life. That collaborative process means methods evolve as progress happens and new needs arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can work for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or stepping through a technique between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or other commitments.
