About Janet
Janet Crockett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an LCSW-C in Maryland with nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, career stress, parenting difficulties, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and related concerns. Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer next steps rather than abstract discussion.
Janet keeps conversations direct and goal-focused. She works with people to identify what feels most urgent and then breaks that down into manageable steps. That can mean building routines for mood management, finding strategies to handle parenting strain, or working through grief and past hurt so daily life becomes more bearable.
Her day-to-day approach is pragmatic. She listens for patterns in how problems show up and suggests small experiments clients can try between meetings. Progress is tracked with concrete actions and regular check-ins rather than open-ended goals.
Janet has experience across community and clinical settings, which informs her practical orientation. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and life challenges. Her work reflects nearly a decade of practice with adults navigating major life stressors.

How sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and symptom reduction. For example, cognitive-behavioral approaches help identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with actionable coping strategies for mood, anxiety, or anger. This method is useful when someone needs clearer ways to respond to stressors at home.She also draws on problem-solving and behavioral activation techniques, which involve breaking tasks into small steps and building routines that support daily functioning. These approaches help with low motivation, grief-related withdrawal, and the practical demands of parenting or work-life balance.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review a person’s goals, preferences, and current challenges and then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process may include adapting techniques over time based on what works and what doesn’t.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit regular appointments into busy days, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these online encounters to teach concrete skills, assign short between-session tasks, and track progress in ways that fit everyday life.
