About Janet
Janet Hardy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on a person-centered way of working. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, empathetic relationship where adults can talk through anxiety, depression, parenting stress, relationship struggles, and trauma. Sessions emphasize listening and understanding first, then setting goals together.
Janet brings ten years of experience providing telemental health counseling to adults from Mississippi and beyond. She often supports people navigating life changes, grief, anger, self-esteem challenges, bipolar and ADHD concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with those facing fertility, adoption, or family-of-origin questions, and she has a particular focus on LGBTQ concerns including gender dysphoria.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with attachment-focused ideas and practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. Janet may also use elements of hypnotherapy and mindfulness to help clients calm racing thoughts and build new coping habits. The work is collaborative - the therapist and client choose tools that fit each person’s situation.
Before starting, Janet asks clients to complete identity verification and provide an emergency contact. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. People interested in beginning are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of overwhelming feelings or to find personal goals for change.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help clients who struggle with trust, closeness, or repeated relationship conflicts by identifying patterns and trying new ways of relating.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by changing unhelpful thinking and practicing small behavioral steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and reduced travel time. Online work can make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions and to try skills in everyday settings. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
