About Janelle
Janelle Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in behavioral health. She practices as an LCSW and has worked across settings that address mood, stress, and trauma. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people take the next step when things feel overwhelming.
She helps people manage anxiety and depression in practical ways. She talks through stress and burnout, and supports people coping with grief, anger, or compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also helps those facing relationship strain, addiction challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, and issues related to attention and focus. Janelle combines several approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities.
She uses cognitive behavioral tools when unhelpful thoughts or behaviors get in the way of daily life. Mindfulness practices are offered to help regulate emotion and build calm. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when strong emotions or relationship patterns cause distress.
The Gottman Method informs work on relationship patterns and communication skills. Her sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens first, then helps set clear steps people can try between visits.
If you are a parent worried about stress or a person worn down by a long struggle, Janelle aims to help you find steady ways forward.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to set goals. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through decisions and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises; it’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong emotions and relationship patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video is useful for focused conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or work break. Live chat and text are helpful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
