About Janell
She creates an open space where clients can say what they think and feel without judgment. Conversations are straightforward and directed toward practical changes that fit everyday life. Janell uses clear, compassionate listening to help people name what is most pressing and to find ways forward.
Her work draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods to spot and change unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take action, and attachment-focused work to understand relationship patterns. Sessions often include skills practice, gentle reflection, and planning for concrete next steps.
Janell also uses elements of dialectical behavior techniques and client-centered methods to balance problem-solving with acceptance. She supports people dealing with caregiving stress, feelings of guilt or shame, and struggles with isolation or life purpose. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who come for help can expect a collaborative pace. Janell listens first, then offers tools and options tailored to each person’s goals. That makes it easier to try small changes and notice what helps over time.

Online therapy approaches and what they offer
Janell uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that increase anxiety and then practicing new, more helpful ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify which strategies match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative exploration may combine techniques from different approaches and adjust over time as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It can also let someone use phone-only contact if video is difficult. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to learn which session options are available and what will work best for everyday life.
