My therapy style is CBT and Person Centred, you're the expert in yourself, and I only know what you tell me, by working together, talking about your concerns, we can come to an outcome that is suitable for you, it is important that you make your own choices, and therefore I do not advise you, but using my techniques we will get you there, so that you can feel better about your choices in life and not repeat them.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Janet Brown. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Working with Janet has been a grounding and insightful experience. One of the things I appreciated most was the range of tools and techniques she introduced throughout our sessions. Whether it was cognitive reframing, self-reflection prompts, or practical exercises for emotional regulation, each method felt thoughtfully chosen and tailored to where I was in my process.
These tools not only supported me during our sessions but also gave me something concrete to apply in daily life, which made a lasting difference. I felt gently guided, never rushed, and always held in a space where exploration felt safe and intentional.
I'm grateful for her support and the structure she brought to each session, which helped me build more clarity and self-trust in my personal journey.

So far I have a kind, professional and real insightful way of acting... a proactive way that touches the hard truths in a humane way.

Janet had helped me change my life. My mindset has significantly changed. With her help I developed good coping mechanisms, and quit bad habits. I overcame my depression and found new lights and new ways with dealing with it. I have dreams and trust myself to be able to achieve them despite any life struggle. I am a different person from when I started 6 month ago and i can see the change. I am grateful. It's been a journey of transformation with the help and support of Janet.
