About Janette
Janette Hernandez is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She brings eight years of clinical experience and uses a client-centered stance to help people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, grief, and other life challenges. Janette is based in California and works with adults dealing with a wide range of concerns.
Her style begins with listening. Janette aims to understand each person's history and what matters most to them before suggesting ways to move forward.
Background and approach
She uses practical skills from cognitive approaches and mindfulness to help people reduce intense feelings and change unhelpful patterns. Janette also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. That helps when the concern is intimacy, codependency, abandonment worries, or family-of-origin issues.
She often blends these perspectives so strategies match the person and the problem. In sessions she teaches coping tools, communication tactics, and step-by-step ways to handle upsetting moments. People learn to notice triggers, try new responses, and practice small behavior changes between meetings.
The work is focused and down-to-earth, with attention to both feelings and practical next steps. She commonly addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, and career or identity stressors. Janette supports people who are LGBTQ and those facing compassion fatigue or burnout.
If someone wants to explore goals and build new habits, she helps map a clear plan.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Janette often uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to practice concrete skills that reduce distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, anger, and eating-related issues.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy struggles. That perspective helps when someone wants to understand responses to abandonment, codependency, or communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Janette collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She may blend techniques and check in regularly to see what is helping and what needs adjustment.
Online formats make that collaboration flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation for deeper processing and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, jotting strategies, or getting support between sessions. These options allow sessions to fit around work, caregiving, and other life demands rather than requiring travel.
