About Janet
Janet Rodriguez is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stressful and uncertain periods. She works with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and transitions that leave people unsure what comes next.
Janet focuses on building self-esteem and clarifying life purpose while also addressing communication problems that strain relationships. She has a long track record supporting people through divorce and separation, and she helps those coping with isolation, loneliness, and social anxiety.
Her practice pays attention to cultural background, faith, and personal identity when discussing choices and goals. Sessions involve straightforward conversation about what’s working and what isn’t, with practical steps people can try between meetings.
Janet speaks English and Spanish, which she uses to connect with a wider range of people across cultural lines. Her style is direct and respectful, aimed at helping people find clearer next steps after big life changes.
People often come to her when they feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health. She frames options, discusses trade-offs, and supports people as they test new ways of relating, communicating, and making decisions.
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses are cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills-based work. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teach practical ways to test and change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and social anxiety. Skills-based work focuses on communication and coping skills so people can manage stress and improve how they relate to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will review a person’s goals, needs, and preferences and suggest methods to try. That collaborative process helps determine whether to emphasize thought-focused techniques, skills practice, or a mix of both.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options when video would be difficult, but please verify which formats she offers when you schedule.
