About Janna
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 22 years of clinical experience. Janna Means focuses on grief and coping with life changes. She also works with concerns related to autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and intellectual disability. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
Janna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. She encourages clients to take practical steps toward change and to take responsibility for their own wellbeing. In sessions she helps people process loss, manage difficult feelings, and develop concrete coping strategies. She also offers support around pet loss and the special grief that can follow the death of an animal.
Her background includes long-term work in mental health and a focus on grief-related interventions. She describes personal experience with loss as part of how she understands the grieving process. That perspective informs how she helps people sort through complicated emotions and recognize small, manageable steps forward.
In practical terms she asks clients to commit to the process and to try behavioral changes between sessions. CBT techniques are used to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and to replace them with clearer, goal-focused actions. For caregivers and those facing end-of-life decisions, she helps with pacing, boundary-setting, and realistic planning.
People seeking help for major life transitions or persistent grief will find an approach centered on problem-solving, clear goals, and steady progress. To begin, clients follow the site flow to view online therapy options and schedule an initial appointment.

How CBT guides online sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In plain terms this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them, and practicing new behaviors. It helps with grief-related distress, anxiety about life changes, and practical coping skills.She also uses CBT techniques tailored to caregiving and end-of-life stress. That can include setting boundaries, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and planning for high-stress moments. For people processing loss, sessions often combine skill practice with structured opportunities to talk about what has been lost.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which techniques fit their goals and daily routine. Progress is reviewed together and methods are adjusted based on what helps most.
