01 · Who Janine works with
Janine lists 5 specialisms. Specialisms are the subjects Janine chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Janine's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a person who is a therapist. I have worked in a great deal of places with a variety of clients. Over 30 years I have heard everything. I do not judge or am overly confident I can help everyone. I have experience with personality disorders, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and life changes. Chronic medical issues are an interest for me as well. If your favorite sports team loses the big game, I got you covered too! Go Birds!
Therapy is different for everyone! I want to meet my clients where they are emotionally. This helps me to learn where you feel is the focus of your journey. I have experience in EMDR, CBT, problem-solving, and interpersonal approaches. Ultimately, my clients take me on their journey.
Everyone is different and needs different types of therapy! Therapy doesn't have to be somber and sad. We need to laugh too!

03 · What happens next
Janine practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Janine's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Janine at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Janine is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Janine.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Janine actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Janine's - Janine has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 30 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
05 · Practical details
06 · Provenance
Janine's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 8 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Janine. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
