Janeen Mongar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. She supports individuals working through grief, sleep problems, substance concerns, and difficult life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on what matters most to each person.

Janeen aims to make sessions a place where people can speak honestly without feeling judged. She encourages clear goals and practical steps so progress is easier to notice. Conversations cover feelings, behaviors, and small changes that add up over time.

Her background spans 17 years of professional experience in mental health settings. Over that time she has worked with people coping with mood disorders, postpartum depression, panic and obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and trauma from accidents or other events. She also pays attention to compassion fatigue and concerns common to veterans and armed forces issues.

Therapy draws on several ways of working, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered care. Sessions often mix skill-building, reflective conversation, and practical planning. Janeen adjusts the balance based on each person’s needs and goals.

People who want a straightforward, compassionate counselor may find her style helpful. She encourages asking questions about what to expect and how sessions will fit into daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then move toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and obsessive thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding emotions and improving how people connect to their own feelings, which can help with grief, self-esteem, and relationship-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins that work around appointments or childcare. Some people prefer shorter or screen-off conversations when bandwidth or energy is limited. Discuss scheduling and session length during the intake so therapy fits into everyday life.
