Janet Natale

Janet Natale is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with decades of experience in clinical practice. She brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to sessions and focuses on helping people find tools that work in their daily life.

Janet has worked in private practice, in schools, and in community programs serving adults and adolescents. Her background includes relational counseling, addiction work, emotional disorders, and supporting people connected to the foster care system. She has also worked with diverse cultural groups across many settings.

Her style is strength-based and motivational. Janet helps clients identify existing strengths, notice what gets in the way, and build step-by-step plans for change. She uses straightforward language and concrete strategies so people can try things between sessions.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, addiction, ADHD, and issues around identity and LGBT concerns. She also works with career and self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges, and complex family dynamics.

Janet draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She encourages small experiments in the real world, reflection on patterns, and practical coping skills. Her aim is to help people move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

She invites prospective clients to consider therapy as a step toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding.

How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy

Janet uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily cues in the moment and develop calm, present-moment habits that reduce reactivity and stress. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s own goals. That approach helps people feel heard and build confidence in their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change mood and functioning; CBT often helps with depression, anxiety, and patterns that maintain distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Janet adapts tools over time and checks in about what is working and what needs to change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quiet place with less interruption. Ask about available session formats when you schedule to make sure they fit your routine.
