About Janell
Janell creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. She listens closely and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical skills and small changes that make daily life easier.
Her work draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. Janell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship and family patterns, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy show up when clients need emotion regulation tools. Janell keeps the language simple and concrete so clients can use what they learn between sessions.
People often come for help with parenting stress, feelings of isolation, or trouble communicating. She also supports those facing control issues, shame and guilt, body image concerns, and life transitions like divorce and separation. Janell aims to help people feel steadier and more able to take next steps.

How Janell’s approaches fit into online therapy
Janell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of thinking. CBT is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress because it teaches concrete steps to change reactions.She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when emotions are uncomfortable. ACT can help with long-standing avoidance, life transitions, and finding direction.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, try different tools, and adapt methods based on what feels most helpful. Together they decide which combination of strategies to use.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines and reduce travel time. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or sessions that work around work and family schedules. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
