Janine Best

Janine Best is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Tennessee with 13 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She aims to help clients build self-esteem, find motivation, and regain confidence during difficult times. Janine speaks English and Haitian Creole and works with concerns commonly faced by women and young adults among others.

She focuses on creating a respectful and compassionate space for each person. Conversations and plans are tailored to the individual's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Janine pays attention to how past experiences like trauma or adoption can affect current coping and decision-making.

In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and try practical steps that fit daily life. That can include small behavior changes, strategies for managing anxiety, and ways to process loss. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Janine also addresses career stress, parenting concerns, and communication problems that affect relationships. She considers factors such as immigration or aging when those issues are relevant to a person's situation. Her approach aims to help people feel more capable and clear about next steps.

Starting therapy is framed as a courageous first move. Janine offers steady support as people work toward a more satisfying life and better day-to-day coping.

How evidence-based approaches work in online care

Janine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical work. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress through short, repeatable strategies that reduce immediate overwhelm and build coping ability over time. Another approach centers on grief and loss, helping people name feelings, process change, and find ways to carry forward meaningful routines and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, comfort with different methods, and what has helped or not helped in the past. They then try approaches together and adjust plans as progress and preferences become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that match a client's schedule. Phone sessions may be helpful when a quick check-in is needed or when video is not practical. Discussing these options up front will help shape a plan that fits your life and goals.
