About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 17 years of experience. She helps adults who are carrying anxiety, stress, grief, anger, low self-esteem, or parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, mood concerns, and sleep disruption.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Janeen uses clear talk to help people sort what matters most right now. She pays attention to patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and practices small, manageable changes with clients.

Her background includes work with people affected by disaster, veteran and armed forces issues, postpartum struggles, and traumatic brain injury. She also sees concerns such as obsessive or compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, bipolar mood shifts, and seasonal mood changes. That breadth means she can draw on different strategies depending on the problem presented.

Clinically, Janeen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She explains techniques plainly and helps people try tools between sessions so progress is steady and concrete.

People who come to Janeen for help with family and parenting stress are offered practical ways to manage conflict, set boundaries, and cope with everyday overwhelm. She asks about goals, suggests specific skills, and checks in on how those skills fit into real life.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Janeen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and building motivation. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes that reduce symptoms over time.

She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. Over the first few sessions she will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what the client finds useful. That way the plan shifts if something is not working or a different skill is needed.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. People often find online work useful because it can fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. The therapist will discuss how sessions can be scheduled to match daily routines and personal needs.
