About

About Janet

Janet Ready is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of practice. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish and works from Colorado. Janet greets people with a warm, communicative style and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for everyday life.

Janet focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, substance use, self-esteem, sleep problems, eating issues, anger, career stress, relationships, and parenting.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps people set practical goals that fit their situation. Her approach blends mindfulness, a person-centered stance, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she uses simple mindfulness practices to calm the mind, centers sessions on the person's goals and values, and uses thought-and-behavior strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Sessions usually involve talking through problems, experimenting with small changes, and tracking progress together. Janet works collaboratively to build a plan that fits each person’s daily life. She can offer short-term tools for immediate relief and longer work for deeper change.

Conversations are paced to match what the person needs in the moment. She accepts international clients and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability.

Online support

Approach and online options that fit busy lives

Janet uses mindfulness practices to help calm racing thoughts and bring attention to the present moment. These are short, simple exercises that can reduce stress and make daily tasks feel more manageable.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach breaks problems into small, practical steps and helps people try changes between sessions to see what works.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Janet listens to your goals and preferences and adjusts methods as needed. Together you will choose tools and pacing that match your needs and daily routine.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, ongoing coaching, or moments when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on usable strategies and steady progress.
