Janet Giles, LMFT

She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiver stress, ADHD symptoms, codependency, anger, and low self-esteem. Janet has practiced in a range of clinical settings and has taught psychology courses as an adjunct professor in a counseling program.

Her classroom experience includes lifespan development, child and adolescent development, theories of personality, and psychopathology. She draws on this background to explain things clearly and keep sessions practical.

Her therapy style blends well-known, evidence-based techniques to match whatever a person needs that week. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts, strength-focused work to build on what already helps, and mindfulness practices to steady stress reactions.

She adapts methods when a different approach better fits a concern. Janet brings a creative sensibility to sessions and sometimes weaves artful thinking into conversations.

She sees the relationship between therapist and client as central and aims to make the room feel respectful and steady. That makes it easier to try new behaviors and practice different ways of relating.

People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance, gentle challenge, and practical tools to use between sessions. Janet aims to help people find clearer communication, more manageable stress, and small changes that add up over time.
