About Janet
Janet Eddy is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Missouri with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Janet aims to make first steps toward change feel possible and understandable.
She creates an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. Janet listens for what matters most to each person and helps them find clearer ways to respond to hard situations.
Background and approach
Her work addresses both everyday pressures and deeper wounds. People often seek her help for coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, panic, and bipolar challenges. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and isolation.
Janet draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens room for alternative, more helpful narratives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and build actions that align with what matters most.
Janet also uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. For trauma-related distress she includes EMDR techniques when appropriate. She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing work fit regular life.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Janet uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and to rewrite those stories in ways that feel more empowering and useful. This approach is helpful for people facing identity questions, life transitions, or patterns that keep repeating.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan as work unfolds. The aim is to match techniques to what actually helps someone move forward.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied routines. Video is good for deeper conversational work and EMDR-focused trauma steps. Phone sessions or shorter live chat check-ins can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings and quick check-ins when needed. These options let people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, and travel.
