About Janisse
Janisse Rothford is a licensed counselor who blends relational and skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She holds licensure in Nevada as an LCPC and in California as an LPCC and brings a decade of clinical experience to her work.
Background and approach
Janisse speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people starting therapy. Her practice emphasizes clear communication and practical tools.
She uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication problems, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are also part of her toolkit for emotion regulation and stress management.
Janisse adapts conversations and care to each person's situation. She focuses on specific goals such as improving communication, coping with loss, reducing anger, and building self-love.
Sessions are geared toward real-life change and small, usable steps that fit a person's day-to-day routine. Her background includes work with military families earlier in her career, which shaped her understanding of family strain and isolation.
That experience informs how she supports people facing life transitions, midlife questions, and challenges tied to family roles. Janisse offers sessions in English and provides care via remote formats.
She invites people to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Janisse combines the Gottman Method with other practical approaches to help people address communication and relationship patterns. The Gottman Method focuses on identifying interaction cycles and improving communication habits to reduce conflict and increase connection in everyday life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused environment where people set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, provides straightforward strategies to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janisse will talk through goals, test techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaborative process ensures the plan fits a person's needs, preferences, and how they like to work in sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session exercises, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins and skill practice between meetings. These options help people access care around their schedules and daily demands.
