Janet Conde, LMHC

Janet Conde is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 26 years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Janet focuses on practical skills that can fit into busy lives and make everyday problems easier to manage.

Her approach emphasizes clear, achievable goals and step-by-step strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and take actions that match their values. Sessions often include skill practice, thought work, and planning for real-world situations.

Janet works with people dealing with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and major depression, as well as with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and personality-related struggles. She also supports clients coping with parenting stress, caregiver strain, grief, and issues like hoarding or codependency. Her additional focus areas include aging concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome related needs, blended family challenges, and family-of-origin patterns.

She adapts treatment to each person’s culture, history, and current situation. Plans are designed to be measurable and time-focused so progress can be seen. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to accommodate bilingual needs.

Janet believes starting therapy takes courage and worth the effort. She encourages people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to see if the fit feels right.

How CBT and ACT are used in online therapy

Janet uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and real-life practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches people how to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. ACT can help when worry, grief, or low motivation keep someone from living the life they want.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when needed, phone can be useful for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing check-ins or brief skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
