About Janeen

Janeen Savini is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing life changes, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and other stressful situations. Janeen focuses on helping people move forward and build more satisfying lives.

Her style is warm and collaborative. She listens closely to each person's story and treats them as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking so clients can regain a sense of control and hope.

Background and approach

Janeen uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She looks at how thoughts and beliefs may be holding someone back and teaches skills to manage intense feelings. She also helps people examine their personal story and consider different ways of understanding their past and present.

In therapy she helps people set realistic goals and practice small steps toward change. Parents and caregivers often seek help with stress and role strain, and others come for support after loss, trauma, or difficult transitions. Conversations aim to identify strengths and build steady progress.

Janeen emphasizes clear, down-to-earth guidance. She encourages small experiments between sessions, simple coping techniques, and steady tracking of what is working. Her goal is to help people feel more confident and able to handle life’s challenges.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Janeen directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Janeen draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps with issues like identity, family of origin concerns, and feelings of emptiness by separating the person from the problem and exploring alternate storylines.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where getting unstuck matters more than eliminating every uncomfortable thought.

Finding the right style is a collaborative process. Janeen works with clients to try approaches and pick the ones that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what helps someone make steady progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when a deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth fluctuates or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing accountability between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while focusing on skills, meaning, and forward movement.
