About Janeen

Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and motivation. She offers steady, nonjudgmental support for people facing grief, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, mood changes, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. Janeen builds a calm setting where people can talk about hard things and try out different ways of coping. She listens closely and works with each client to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions emphasize practical tools alongside reflection so people can notice progress between meetings. Over 17 years in practice, Janeen has worked with a wide range of concerns including panic, obsessive thoughts, postpartum depression, traumatic brain injury, and compassion fatigue. She uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work to match techniques to the person's needs. Her style balances skill teaching with emotional support. That might mean learning specific behavior changes, practicing mindfulness, or exploring relationship patterns. She encourages small, achievable steps toward greater self-love and better daily coping. People considering therapy are invited to weigh what they want to change and move forward at a pace that feels right. Janeen aims to make beginning therapy as clear and manageable as possible.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate actions. It emphasizes values-guided choices and small steps toward a life that matters to the person, which can help with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for panic, OCD patterns, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics; this style supports processing trauma, grief, and motivation issues.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try methods from these approaches and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and doable.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. They also let a person practice skills in the settings where challenges actually occur, which can help transfer learning into everyday life.
