She earned a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work from Salisbury University. Janay built early experience supporting people involved with the child welfare system and guiding reunification efforts. That work shaped her skill at managing stress and complex life transitions.

Since then she has worked with couples and individuals seeking practical change and better coping strategies. Her background includes helping people navigate separation, commitment issues, and relationship conflict.

In sessions she uses empathetic listening, guided practice, collaboration, and a strengths-based perspective. She focuses on clear communication, building self-trust, and setting small, achievable goals. Janay helps clients identify what matters to them and take steps toward those values.

Clients can expect an accepting tone and practical steps between sessions. Janay supports work on body image, money and financial stress, process addictions, social anxiety, life purpose, and women’s issues. She aims to help people feel more confident and move toward a more meaningful life.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Janay draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One common approach she uses is strengths-based work, which starts by identifying a person’s existing skills and resources and then building on those strengths to address problems like low self-esteem or stress.

Another frequent strand in her practice is guided practice, where sessions include role-playing and rehearsing new communication skills. This helps people handle hard conversations, set boundaries, or manage anger in real situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try talking things through from a convenient location while keeping the focus on real-world goals and skills.
