About Janisse

Janisse Rothford is a licensed counselor practicing in Nevada. She holds LCPC and LPCC credentials and brings a decade of professional experience to her work. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to improve relationships and self-esteem. Her approach centers on mindfulness therapy and client-centered care. Sessions emphasize short, clear steps clients can try between meetings. She also draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas when those tools fit the situation. Janisse helps people manage anger and cope with grief in straightforward terms. She pays attention to communication problems, family stress, and feelings of isolation. Conversations aim to identify what is working now and what small changes could help. She can support people exploring life purpose, self-love, and midlife transitions, with attention to women's issues when relevant. The therapist describes tailoring dialogue and plans to each person’s needs instead of using the same approach for everyone. Scheduling is done around the therapist's availability. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then set a time to meet. The focus in early sessions is on clear goals and practical skills that fit daily life.

How mindfulness and practical therapies translate online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and body sensations without judgment. In practice this can mean brief guided breathing or grounding exercises and checking how stress shows up day to day. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to clarify goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, emotions, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that suit their situation. If something doesn't fit, adjustments are made together so the work stays relevant and practical. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking so you know what to expect. The emphasis is on applying skills between meetings and on using therapy time for clear, manageable steps that help in everyday life.

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.
