About Janine
Janine Gonzalez uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and brings nearly three decades of experience to sessions. Her style is straightforward and respectful, centered on what each person wants to change.
Janine emphasizes collaboration and clear steps people can try between meetings. Janine blends approaches that help people notice what matters, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build workable habits.
Background and approach
She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage small consistent actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns in thoughts and behavior and to practice different responses. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting strain, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life issues, and problems with guilt, shame, or forgiveness.
She also supports people facing loneliness, life transitions, panic, obsessive thoughts, and compassion fatigue. Sessions focus on skills that fit daily life and on practical ways to reduce distress. Janine aims to create a calm, direct space where people can name what is hard and try doable changes.
She draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when motivation or quick practical shifts are needed. Her approach balances listening with concrete tools and clear next steps. People meet with Janine by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She works in English and practices in Florida as an LCSW. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the person’s schedule.

How Janine’s Approaches Work Online
Janine often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a way that fits online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, which can be practiced between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, useful for panic, obsessive thinking, and low mood.She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in what the person needs, and motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change when motivation feels low. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step - the therapist and client will try methods and adjust based on what helps most in daily life and toward the client’s goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
