Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Janette Hernandez uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as core approaches in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them explore their experiences and values - this approach is often helpful for people working through relationship concerns, self-esteem, or transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxious or depressive symptoms and to change unhelpful patterns.

Janette also incorporates attachment-based ideas when relevant, attending to how early relationships influence current ways of relating and helping clients develop more secure, satisfying connections. Determining the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process - Janette works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the moment, adjusting methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allow clients to access care with greater flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life circumstances change, and engage in therapy from familiar settings, while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
