Janette Hernandez, LMFT

Janette Hernandez is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She emphasizes the person's own experience and works alongside them to address stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at helping people manage life changes and feel more steady day to day.

Janette draws on eight years of clinical work with adults, youth, and families. She combines Attachment-Based ideas with cognitive-behavioral strategies and mindfulness to tackle common problems like depression, trauma, and coping with grief. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings.

She also pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, abandonment, or attachment wounds. That focus helps when someone struggles with codependency, communication problems, or control issues. Janette addresses eating and body image concerns alongside mood and anxiety symptoms.

People bring many kinds of stress into therapy, from career pressures and caregiver fatigue to relationship conflict and substance use. Janette uses Client-Centered Therapy and elements of DBT when needed to build emotional regulation and better communication. Her work is collaborative - she helps set priorities and develops step-by-step plans that fit a person’s life.

If intimacy or sexual functioning issues are part of the concern, she includes those topics in sessions and helps people talk about them openly. Prospective clients can expect direct, calm conversation and practical tools tailored to their situation.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy

Janette uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships affect current patterns and trust. This approach helps people notice repeating behaviors and learn new ways of relating when stress or abandonment worries appear.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and habits that keep problems going and to teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is woven through both approaches, so sessions center on the person's experience and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janette collaborates with each person to decide which ideas and techniques fit best for their needs and preferences. That process can include trying different strategies and checking in often to see what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. It also lets people practice skills between meetings in their everyday life while still getting support from a licensed professional.
