About Janet
Janet Bloodgood is a Florida Psychologist (FL Psychologist PY12462) who is also licensed in New Jersey (NJ Psychologist 35SI00512900) with 30 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. Janet names guilt and shame among the issues she attends to as part of broader emotional concerns.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps clients can take to handle day-to-day stressors. Conversations tend to be straightforward and grounded in problem-solving rather than abstract theory.
Janet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She helps clients untangle feelings linked to attachment, abandonment, body image, and forgiveness. Work may include learning new ways to communicate, manage panic or anxiety, and navigate separation or caregiving strain.
She also supports people wrestling with money worries, life purpose, isolation, and control issues. For those dealing with grief or loss, sessions aim to make space for emotion while finding manageable next steps. Janet highlights building confidence and self-love as part of longer-term work.
Practical matters are part of the process. Clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. Janet practices in Florida and holds her New Jersey credential for work tied to that state.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Janet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and shame; it involves noticing automatic thoughts and trying alternative ways of thinking in daily life. Another approach focuses on skills for managing strong emotions and panic, teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments that reduce reactivity.Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative. The therapist and client look at current difficulties, goals, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they pick techniques to try and check in regularly to see what is working and what needs adjusting.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients practice skills in the environments where problems occur. Licensed professionals, including psychologists, adapt pace and methods so sessions match a client's schedule and day-to-day reality.
