Janet Eddy, LPC

Janet Eddy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, mood challenges, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Janet aims to make the first step toward change less overwhelming by offering steady support and practical guidance.

Janet builds sessions around open conversation. She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, realistic steps forward.

Her work includes tools to manage panic, cope with major life changes, and address compassion fatigue and caregiver strain. She also supports people working through issues such as abandonment, body image, dissociation, guilt, and loneliness. Janet draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.

Sessions often address emotional processing after loss, stress tied to caregiving or aging, and persistent anxiety or depressive symptoms. She also helps people considering career shifts or seeking clearer life purpose. The emphasis is on practical strategies that fit day-to-day life.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Janet listens first, then partners with people to set goals and try methods that feel doable. She encourages feedback along the way so the work stays relevant to changing needs and circumstances.

How Janet Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Janet uses several proven approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to act toward them even when emotions are difficult. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process traumatic memories through structured sets of attention and memory work; it can be helpful for people dealing with past trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janet will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what feels most helpful to the individual.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around caregiving duties or work shifts. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and how they would fit into your routine.
