About Janette
Janette Gunn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience. She helps people who are facing anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Janette also focuses on isolation or loneliness, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia.
Janette began her career working in a domestic violence shelter. She later supported teens in treatment foster care who had survived severe trauma and abuse. Those early roles shaped how she listens and responds to trauma and loss in later work.
Her practice blends several approaches so sessions can be flexible. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at strong emotions and attachment patterns. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for practical skills and coping tools.
Janette views therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to set goals and choose techniques that fit their situation. Conversations typically include emotion work, skill-building, and looking at patterns that keep problems stuck.
She holds the LCSW credential and works in Wisconsin. Sessions are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the provider’s booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and name strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships and daily life. EFT can be useful for people who struggle to put feelings into words or who notice repeating emotional responses that cause distress.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds and current relationships shape how people respond to stress and connection. This approach looks at patterns of closeness and distance and can help people recognize what they need from others and from themselves.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT often includes short exercises, homework, and clear skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Choosing the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust the approach together. That collaborative process guides whether more emotion-focused work, skills practice, or cognitive techniques are emphasized.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that match a work or family schedule. Different approaches translate to online work in different ways - for example, CBT often includes shared worksheets and short between-session tasks, while EFT and attachment work focus on feeling and reflecting during the session.
