Janet Dove, LMFT

Janet Dove is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. She focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem. Janet aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and respectful of the courage it takes to reach out.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize building practical skills and self-awareness. Janet centers the work on helping people notice values, increase emotional connection, and develop coping tools that fit daily life.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix helps with mood shifts, recurring relationship patterns, and reactions to loss or change. Janet uses Client-Centered and Existential ideas to keep the focus on each person’s experiences and choices.

With six years of clinical experience, she helps people with a wide set of concerns from addiction and trauma to parenting stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports those struggling with body image, codependency, and major life transitions. Her goal is to help people gain skills, insight, and confidence so relationships and daily life feel more manageable.

Janet asks for patience from those taking the first step and works collaboratively to set realistic goals. The emphasis is on being heard, understood, and developing lasting change one step at a time.

How Janet’s Approaches Shape Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating influence current bonds and communication, which can be useful for relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of reacting to reduce distress.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Janet will listen to your goals and try a method that fits your needs. If something isn’t working, she’ll adjust the approach together so the work stays practical and meaningful.
