About Janet
LCSW in New York with 40 years of clinical experience, Dr. Janet Geller focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, loneliness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues. She works in English and sees people in New York.
Dr. Geller keeps conversations direct and practical. She listens to what matters most, clarifies patterns that get in the way, and helps identify steps people can try between sessions. Sessions are built around the concerns a person brings and the goals they want to reach.
Her approach is evidence-based and problem-focused. She helps people understand how past events affect current relationships and day-to-day life. That can include looking at boundaries, patterns of interaction, and coping strategies that feel more manageable.
Dr. Geller aims to make sessions straightforward. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts it as progress is made. People can expect clear discussion of options and practical suggestions to try outside sessions.
When someone is ready to begin, she asks about immediate concerns and what a better day would look like. From there she and the client decide on short-term steps and longer-term goals. This work is presented in plain language and paced to the person’s needs.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Dr. Geller uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and relationship concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns in how people relate to others and trying new interaction strategies to reduce conflict and improve connection. Another approach addresses the impact of past trauma by helping people recognize triggers and develop practical coping skills to manage intense reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. You and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best and how to pace the work.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here.
