Janet Crockett, LCSW, LCSW-C

Janet Crockett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and LCSW-C in Maryland with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, coping with life changes, eating issues, parenting stress, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also notes experience with aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, disaster-related coping, first responder issues, infidelity, intellectual disability, veteran and armed forces concerns, prejudice and discrimination, seasonal affective disorder, and young adult issues.

Janet uses straightforward conversation to clarify what’s most pressing. She listens for practical patterns that are getting in the way and helps people develop concrete skills to manage daily life. Sessions focus on what can change now and what steps feel realistic for each person.

Her approach centers on setting clear goals and checking progress together. She adapts the pace to fit each person’s circumstances and tolerance for change. That may mean shorter action-focused tasks one week and deeper processing the next.

Janet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, mood, and behavior concerns. She blends problem-solving with emotional processing so people can stabilize day-to-day functioning while addressing underlying issues. Her work tends to be practical and rooted in everyday demands like work, family, and health.

People who reach out can expect direct, respectful conversation about what they want to change. She asks about routines, supports, and barriers, then helps identify manageable next steps. The focus is on usable strategies that fit into a person’s real life.
