About me

Hello! I'm Janet Larsen Caldwell, a licensed mental health counselor in both New York and Florida and I am wondering:
Have you ever scrutinized your relationships with your children or the connection between you and your significant other? Are you trying to balance work and home? Do problems exist with regards to peer pressure and social media? Do you blame yourself or have you ever had the feeling that maybe it's you, but would never reveal that?

Your personality or cultural upbringing may be preventing you from the happiness you desire with the special people in your life! Instead of labeling your issues and behaviors, we can work with what you have. By making changes to accommodate your needs and relieve you of those unwanted feelings of anxiety, depression, stress and, perhaps, loneliness, you and your family will be on your way to increased happiness.

Through BetterHelp I provide a safe and welcoming space to discuss issues you are tired of ruminating about. If you have reached out to your family and friends and they have not been helpful, it may be too uncomfortable for them, besides not having the answers you need. Together we can decide how to help you become the person you want to be and want others to see!

As an LMHC, I have been licensed since 2009 working with OPWDD in New York State and have been in private practice since 2013.
Having always had a desire to care for others, my first job was working for a family of four children throughout high school years and as a hospital volunteer. After studying nursing in college, I decided that the profession was not for me and and instead received a BA in Human Development from SUNY Empire State College. The mental health counseling MA degree was obtained in Counseling and Community Psychology from Sage Graduate School.

In practice, I utilize multiple treatment modalities including person-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused therapy to those seeking suggestions on how to manage stress, mental health, career and family issues. Since every individual has her or his own personal narrative, together we will challenge your concerns with personalized treatment just for you. Additionally, I have post graduate training in couples and sex therapy with an interest in personality theories, as well as changing lifestyles with spirituality and enlightenment throughout the lifespan.

Janet Caldwell is a perfect fit as a therapist for me. She is extremely supportive, knowledgeable and kind. The sessions are never dull or difficult. I have had a few therapists in my life and Janet is what I needed from Better Help when I signed up.

Janet's expertise and care was evident immediately in our first session. I've had other therapists that didn't put in the same effort and didn't seem to be listening to me. But Janet has been great, she makes it very easy to open up and speak what's on your mind. She also asks great questions and uses a lot of sources to discuss the relationships in my life. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great therapist.
