Janet Queen

Janet Queen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. She uses a calm, steady approach to support people through hard moments and complicated feelings.

Janet draws on 25 years of practice to guide people coping with depression, mood disorders, chronic pain, illness, and disability. She listens for what matters most and helps clients set small, practical goals that fit their lives. She also addresses issues around communication, guilt and shame, and forgiveness in straightforward ways.

Her style blends direct conversation with motivational techniques to build momentum for change. Sessions aim to identify barriers, clarify choices, and encourage steps a person feels ready to try. Janet describes her work as walking alongside people while they make decisions about next steps.

People working with her can expect a mix of problem-solving, skill building, and reflective talk. She focuses on tangible coping strategies for stress and on managing the ripple effects of health challenges and addiction. Janet also offers support related to hospice and end-of-life counseling as part of that broader practice.

She practices in Wisconsin as an LCSW, and she frames care around each person’s beliefs and values when requested. The goal is practical change that feels doable and respectful of each person’s life circumstances.

Motivation and Practical Support for Online Care

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to clarify goals and increase willingness to try new steps. This approach can help with addictions, lingering ambivalence, and building momentum for healthier choices.

The therapist blends motivational work with straightforward problem solving. That means conversations about what’s getting in the way, small goal-setting, and checking what actually fits into daily life. Together the client and therapist look at choices and pick steps that feel doable and meaningful.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether motivational work, skill building, or a mix of methods will best match their needs and goals. This is a shared decision that can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps people keep continuity of care during health issues or transitions by letting therapy happen from wherever scheduling works best.
