Janet Kuykendall

Janet Kuykendall is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 12 years of experience to her work in Florida. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. Janet approaches each person as the expert on their life and offers steady support as they make change.

Janet keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people name priorities and set small, doable goals. That can look like learning short mindfulness practices, testing out new ways of thinking, or trying simple communication tools at home.

Her experience includes supporting people through relationship and family tensions, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictive patterns. She also addresses parenting stress, career transitions, bipolar mood management, and life changes that feel overwhelming. Janet pays attention to how past experiences, such as adoption or abandonment, shape present choices.

Clinical approaches include mindfulness-based methods, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and build lasting habits that fit their daily life.

Janet aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She helps people find what works for them, adjust plans as needed, and celebrate small wins along the way.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Janet often uses mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily signals in the moment, which can reduce reactivity and build calm. Client-centered work means she follows the person's priorities and reflects what matters most to them, creating room for personal goals to guide each session. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior changes to test what works, useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals and preferences, and will adjust tools over time as progress and needs change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options exist. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Janet about practical needs like timing, session length, and how to practice skills between meetings so therapy fits into everyday life.
