About Janette
Janette Hernandez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She describes a client-centered style that starts by listening and following each person’s lead. Sessions focus on practical changes people can make and clearer ways to handle stress and relationship problems.
Janette draws on about eight years of experience with adults, youth, and family-related concerns. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and other approaches to address anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. The goal is to build skills that reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.
In the room she helps people name patterns that cause pain, test small changes, and notice what works. She uses mindfulness skills to manage intense feelings and DBT ideas for coping when emotions feel too big. Attachment-based thinking is used to look at how early relationships shape current reactions.
Janette’s areas of focus include relationship stress, family problems, grief, addiction concerns, intimacy and body image struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with eating and food-related issues, abandonment or attachment concerns, codependency, and communication or control issues.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. People who prefer a respectful, listening-first approach often find this helpful. Prospective clients should follow the site’s steps to start the matching process and schedule a session.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered Therapy puts the client’s perspective first. It means the therapist listens more than tells and helps the person discover what matters most to them. This approach suits people who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to figure things out.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect, withdraw, or react under stress, and then try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and behavior.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose which ideas to try based on goals, comfort, and what feels useful. Sessions can shift as needs change and different tools are introduced.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and then talk through how it went in the next meeting.
