Janneta K. Bohlander is a licensed marriage and family therapist whose warm, empathetic presence has guided clients toward healing and growth for more than twenty years. As the founder of Janneta Bohlander Associates, she offers a practice rooted in genuine care and clinical excellence. Whether you are struggling with overwhelming anxiety, the intense fear of vomiting known as emetophobia, or the social and sensory differences of Asperger syndrome, Janneta creates a safe space where every concern is met with respect and understanding.
From the very first session, Janneta takes the time to listen closely to your story: the patterns that hold you back, the strengths you may not fully appreciate in yourself, and the goals you hope to achieve. She understands that no two people are alike, so she uses a mix of evidence-based techniques—Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to develop emotional regulation skills, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to process past traumas, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore the inner “parts” that drive behavior. For clients confronting emetophobia, Janneta incorporates gentle, graduated exposure methods that allow you to face fears at your own pace, accompanied by relaxation strategies rooted in mindfulness and biofeedback. For those on the Asperger syndrome spectrum, she builds social confidence through tailored role-plays, sensory regulation strategies, and compassionate guidance on reading social cues.
Over the course of your work together, Janneta helps you build a toolbox of practical skills you can use long after therapy ends. You might learn to notice the first signs of panic in your body, reframe catastrophic thoughts about vomiting, or develop a clear plan for navigating unexpected social situations. Each session is a collaborative journey: you bring your lived experience, and Janneta offers her decades of clinical knowledge and a sincere belief that you can thrive.
Beyond one-on-one therapy, Janneta is also an active author on mental health topics, sharing insights on her website to support a wider audience. Her articles on managing panic attacks at night, understanding trauma triggers, and navigating life transitions echo the same compassionate voice you’ll hear in her office. Many clients appreciate having these resources as companions to their in-person work, reinforcing new perspectives and self-care practices between appointments.
Whether you are an adolescent learning to manage sensory overload, a parent seeking strategies to support a child with emetophobia, or an adult ready to break free from patterns of anxiety and self-doubt, Janneta’s approach is both personalized and practical. She blends clinical rigor with a warm, down-to-earth manner that makes even challenging moments feel manageable. Under her guidance, clients discover lasting resilience, deeper self-understanding, and the confidence to face life’s ups and downs with renewed hope. At Janneta Bohlander Associates, healing is a collaborative, empowering process—one that begins with your next step toward well-being.
