Work with Janet Hughes (LCSW-C, LICSW, LCSW) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

I have been in and out of therapy for years, but this is the first time in a long while that I’ve felt such a profound difference in my life. Janet has a calming presence and warmth that immediately put me at ease. She strikes a perfect balance between being direct when needed and gentle when necessary, using her intuition to navigate each session in a way that feels tailored to me.

Therapy isn't always easy—sometimes the inner work can be challenging, like looking into a mirror—but Janet is always there to remind me of the strength and power I have within to change, evolve, and grow. In our sessions, I always feel that my well-being is her priority, which makes me feel safe and supported.
After just a few months, I can already see the impact our work together has had on both my personal relationships and my career. Janet was truly meant to do this work, and I am incredibly grateful for her guidance.

janet has helped me immensely with my trauma that most therapists ive tried before werent even able to sit through just to listen. she knows when to give support and also when to give me space and also knows when to push me to open up. she helps remind me how far i’ve gotten, and that i deserve the things i didnt know i deserved and is a great example of a safe space.

in short she is strong enough to be there for someone with a serious history in trauma and is giving me confidence in myself and is giving me sight that i could actually trust people in the future

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Janet during my healing journey. I was my lowest lows when I started therapy. I tried it before and was not sure it would work but Janet made it clear that we were a good match. She is very emotionally intelligent and detailed oriented. I am working on my self esteem and anxiety issues. I can honestly say I am in a better position now than I was 3 months ago. I learned how to manage my emotions and anxiety. I can’t say I’ve perfected it but I am much better. I hope I can work with Janet again. She truly is the best

I genuinely look forward to my weekly sessions with Janet. As someone who's historically had mixed feelings about therapy, she's changed some of my views. Janet has helped me to process through parts of my past as well as current struggles in a way that has helped me to grow as an individual. She has a wonderful personality and she makes me feel comfortable, as though I'm talking to a friend. Janet is always able to remember small details of things that I share, and I have never felt as though I'm being judged. She also balances listening vs when I want/need advice or her input. Wonderful therapist, I would definitely recommend Janet!
