About Janee
Janee Anez is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) in Minnesota with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and major life changes. Her approach aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and supportive for someone taking that first step.
In sessions she focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. She uses clear, practical tools to help people reduce distress and build coping skills. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.
Janee draws on several methods to guide work in short- and longer-term concerns.

Mindfulness practices and solution-focused ideas are added when they fit the client’s goals.
Her experience includes helping people navigate loss, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family of origin issues. She also supports work around fatherhood, men's and women's issues, life purpose, and post-traumatic stress related concerns. These areas are approached with practical strategies and steady support.

How these approaches shape online work
Janee uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what they want to change and to build motivation in small steps. That method focuses on listening, asking curious questions, and supporting decisions that feel doable.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. CBT offers concrete exercises and simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness techniques are used as well to help people notice the present moment and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
