Janet Eddy, LPC

Janet Eddy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and mood challenges while building motivation and self-esteem.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Janet emphasizes supportive listening and practical steps people can use between sessions. She describes beginning therapy as a courageous step and positions herself as a steady partner in that work.

In sessions she draws on a range of approaches to match the problem at hand. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy help with unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people who want to clarify values and take action toward a meaningful life.

She also uses client-centered methods that focus on respectful listening and building a trusting relationship. For trauma-related concerns, EMDR is among the approaches she brings when appropriate. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck.

Janet helps people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to aging or veteran and armed forces experiences. She also addresses relationship communication problems, body image, abandonment, dissociation, and panic symptoms.

Sessions are offered in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without being controlled by them and building a life that feels meaningful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. It can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, low mood, and stress by teaching practical skills to test and change patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship and respectful listening. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can explore feelings and make their own choices.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Janet will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on how someone responds and what feels most useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling and session length will work best for everyday responsibilities.
