About Janette

Janette Hernandez is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, and life changes. Janette draws on eight years of clinical experience to support people through practical, everyday struggles.

Her style is grounded in a person-centered approach that puts the client’s perspective first. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can use between meetings. Janette often combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with mindfulness and attachment-informed thinking to address patterns in thoughts and daily habits.

She helps people identify unhelpful thinking, shift everyday routines, and build coping skills for anxiety, mood shifts, and stress. Therapy also covers intimacy and relationship patterns, grief, addiction-related concerns, body image, and issues that stem from family of origin. Janette pays attention to how attachment and abandonment worries show up in current relationships.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. Janette uses straightforward strategies such as skill practice, thought tracking, and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness work online

Janette uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change thought patterns and everyday habits. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with emotion regulation and everyday overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what works. You and the therapist decide together which techniques fit your life and needs.

Confirm session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings between meetings, which supports changing everyday habits and thought patterns.
