About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people taking a first step toward less stress and more balance. She focuses on practical support for anxiety, low mood, anger, and the everyday strain that follows trauma or major life changes. Her tone is steady and encouraging for someone who may feel unsure about reaching out.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions often center on learning tools to manage strong emotions and to improve sleep, motivation, and self-esteem. Mindfulness practices are used alongside other approaches to help people stay present and notice patterns in their thinking.

Her background spans 17 years of clinical work in Colorado. That experience includes supporting people facing grief, compassion fatigue, mood disorders, addictions, parenting strain, and challenges after injury or disaster. She brings a range of evidence-informed approaches to fit the situation rather than using a single method.

Techniques she commonly uses include acceptance and commitment work, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and client-centered conversations that prioritize the person's goals. Dialectical behavior ideas and emotionally focused skills are also part of her toolbox when they fit a client's needs.

Janeen meets people where they are and helps them set manageable steps forward. If someone is unsure what will help, she will collaborate on a plan and adjust it as progress is made.

How online approaches and mindfulness fit together

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. It can be helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and managing stress by teaching simple present-moment skills.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small, values-based actions. ACT is useful when life feels confusing or overwhelming and a person wants practical direction that matches their priorities.

Client-Centered Therapy offers a supportive space where the therapist listens carefully and follows the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard while they try new coping steps or work through difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting someone choose a quieter moment during the day. Licensed professionals can use these visits to teach mindfulness exercises, practice coping skills, and set manageable goals that carry into everyday routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
