Janine Best, LPC

Janine Best is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and build self-esteem and confidence. Her way of working is straightforward and respectful. Janine aims to meet people where they are and support them through change.

She keeps sessions practical and focused on what matters most to each person. Janine listens first, then tailors conversations and a plan to fit individual needs. That plan may include coping strategies for big life transitions, tools to reduce worry, and steps to rebuild motivation.

Janine works with topics that show up in daily life, such as parenting strains, career shifts, and relationship communication problems. She also gives attention to experiences tied to adoption and foster care, immigration concerns, and issues people face as they age.

Her approach is driven by compassion and sensitivity. Janine emphasizes clear, doable steps rather than jargon or lengthy theory. She encourages people to take small actions that add up to practical change.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Janine offers calm support while people try new ways of coping. Her goal is to help clients feel more able to manage stress and move toward a more satisfying life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Janine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce worry and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breath work, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step problem solving. These tools help with daily symptoms and with returning to routines that feel doable.

Another approach emphasizes grief coping and rebuilding confidence after loss or life change. This uses paced conversation, memory work, and goal-focused tasks to help people make meaning and regain motivation. Both approaches aim for clear, actionable steps rather than abstract discussion.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Janine collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. She guides that choice based on the client's concerns, goals, and personal preferences.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue therapy through life changes without rearranging large parts of their schedule.
