About Janette
LCSW in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience, Janette Gunn focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses isolation, life purpose, social anxiety, and phobia. Her work combines several therapeutic approaches including attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally-focused methods.
Janette began her career supporting people at a domestic violence shelter. She then spent many years working with teens in treatment foster care who had survived severe trauma and abuse. That background shaped how she structures safety, pacing, and practical skills in sessions.
Sessions are collaborative conversations. Janette uses clear, concrete tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage distress. She draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or loss are central to the concern.
She keeps language straightforward and focuses on what the client needs right now. That can mean short-term skills for anxiety, longer work for trauma, or guided discussions about grief and life purpose. Plans are adjusted over time according to how someone responds.
Janette holds a Master’s-level clinical social work credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) - and practices in Wisconsin. Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats offered.

How Janette’s approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. In practice this means noticing how people connect, pull away, or respond to stress in relationships and then trying new ways of relating during sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses specific exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking, and build coping skills. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals. Approaches may be blended and adjusted as progress or new needs emerge. The biography does not list which remote formats are offered, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, fit brief skill-practice between appointments, or avoid commute time. Some formats use shorter check-ins or rely less on video, which can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick skills review is needed. Licensed professionals often find these practical adjustments help sessions fit everyday life.Sheet 3
