About Janeka
Janeka McGee is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and challenges tied to parenting and relationships. Janeka offers straightforward support and practical steps so parents can handle daily pressures more easily.
She uses a warm, respectful manner that avoids labels and blame. Sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to the client. From there she and the client build simple, realistic goals and actions to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Janeka draws on client-centered work to keep conversations grounded in each person’s strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer choices. Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices are added when people need tools for intense emotions or better focus.
Over the years she has worked with concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, career stress, and life transitions. Coaching-style moments are blended with therapy when clients want practical problem solving alongside emotional work. Her practice supports people in Mississippi and international clients in English.
Sessions happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different schedules and needs. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to meet with her.

How her approaches shape online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person first and helps build a safe, understanding space where parents can talk through problems and identify strengths. It emphasizes listening and adapting the work to what each client needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It offers clear strategies to change thinking patterns and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and communicating more effectively. These tools can be useful when stress or anger feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can shift over time as priorities change.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between meetings. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy schedule.
