About Janet
Janet Wise is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in New York, with 30 years of practice. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and life transitions. She also works with issues around parenting, sleep and eating, ADHD, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, emotionally focused techniques, and client-centered care. Sessions aim to clarify problems, set small goals, and try strategies that fit everyday life.
Janet has extensive experience with people facing chronic illness and medical trauma. That background includes grief and crisis work in hospital settings and pastoral counseling through Fordham University’s School of Religion and Religious Studies. She has worked across age groups from young adults to seniors and has taught cultural competency to other professionals.
In conversation she blends coaching and counseling. She listens for what matters, then helps prioritize steps that reduce distress and improve functioning. Practical skills might include behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, communication exercises, or goal-focused coaching.
Outside clinical work she teaches yoga, Tai Chi-style Enerchi, and cardio-fitness. Those movement practices inform her attention to breath, pacing, and managing arousal in everyday life.

BHow sessions work
How Janet integrates common approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and interactions to help with relationship and intimacy-related problems, offering ways to name feelings and change interaction patterns.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Janet treats the decision as a collaboration and will discuss which methods fit a person's goals, current challenges, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what is not.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs and can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support regular practice of skills such as mindfulness or behavioral experiments between meetings, helping therapy techniques integrate into daily routines.
