About Janet
Janet Queen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 25 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, including issues of guilt and shame.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Janet listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that keep someone stuck and suggests small steps to test different choices.
Her work often addresses communication problems and the strain of chronic pain, illness, or disability. She also supports people who are dealing with substance use issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and mood disorders. Forgiveness and working through lingering guilt or shame are named areas of focus.
Janet uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to build motivation at a manageable pace. She combines that with problem-solving and practical coping strategies that fit daily life. Sessions emphasize clear goals and usable next steps rather than abstract theory.
Clients can expect a steady, respectful approach that looks at choices, consequences, and ways forward. Janet asks about faith when it matters to the person and integrates those values into conversations when requested. She practices in Wisconsin and holds the WI LCSW credential.
How Motivational Interviewing and online work together
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify what matters to them and find their own reasons to act. It focuses on open questions, reflective listening, and small, testable steps toward change. This method is useful for substance use concerns, pockets of resistance, and decisions about behavior.The process of finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they decide whether to use Motivational Interviewing, practical coping strategies, or a mix of methods based on the client's needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life changes, while keeping focus on concrete goals and next steps rather than long-term scheduling changes.
