About Janae
Janae Thomas is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and low self-esteem. She works with individuals navigating life changes and helps them build practical coping skills. Janae brings three years of clinical experience and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and straightforward.
She emphasizes compassionate, culturally responsive care that honors each person's identity and values. That includes offering faith-informed support when clients want it, and attention to experiences common to Black individuals.
How Janae works
Janae focuses on creating a respectful space where people can speak openly about what matters to them. Her work often centers on trauma, grief, guilt, shame, and questions of life purpose. She helps people untangle attachment patterns, manage caregiver stress, and address body image and self-worth concerns.
Sessions typically include learning clear coping strategies and practicing new ways to communicate and make decisions. Janae also helps with issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, and the emotional fallout from disasters. She supports those coping with isolation, jealousy, forgiveness, and commitment doubts by offering steady guidance and practical tools.
Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders and adjustment problems. Janae invites clients to set small, achievable goals and works collaboratively to track progress over time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Janae uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood and stress. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and routines to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. This involves step-by-step skill practice and short homework tasks to try between sessions. Another approach centers on processing difficult emotions like grief, guilt, or shame by naming feelings, tracking how they show up, and practicing new responses. That work is useful for people struggling with attachment patterns, caregiver stress, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janae will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and test methods that match those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, and keep sessions brief when needed. It can also let people use a quieter, more flexible setting when they need lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to how someone lives their daily routine.
