Janet Kuykendall, LMHC, LCPC

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of experience. She practices in Florida and brings a straightforward, supportive approach to sessions. Janet emphasizes the client as the expert in their own life and works with people who want practical change.

Janet focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. She also helps people dealing with relationship strain, family conflicts, parenting challenges, addictions, grief, trauma, and life transitions. ADHD, bipolar concerns, and career stress are also within her areas of attention.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens first, then helps clients notice thought patterns and everyday habits that get in the way. Sessions often include simple, usable strategies to shift thinking and behavior over time rather than quick fixes.

Janet draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. These give different ways to look at problems - from changing unhelpful thoughts to noticing present-moment experience and exploring personal stories.

People who appreciate clear conversation and practical tools tend to find her helpful. She aims to support motivation, build coping skills, and strengthen confidence so people can move forward from what holds them back.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy

Janet uses client-centered ideas to focus sessions on each person’s needs and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead, helping them set goals and choose what to work on. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy encourages simple present-moment awareness practices that can ease stress and shape how people respond to difficult emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Janet will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life, and then recommend methods to try. The plan can change as progress is made, with the client and therapist deciding together what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can help fit care into busy schedules by reducing travel time and making it easier to meet during breaks or between responsibilities. It also supports shorter check-ins if a quick session is a better fit for a particular week. Discuss practical scheduling needs during the initial matching and when arranging appointments.
