Background and approach
She has practiced since 2014 and brings nine years of clinical experience in Georgia.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxious thoughts and practical habits. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help clients reframe difficult stories and set clear, achievable steps forward.

She pays attention to communication patterns and practical coping skills so clients can try changes between sessions. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She helps people name problems, set small goals, and practice tools that fit daily life.
Janelle holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Georgia.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping clients find their own answers. It emphasizes empathy and building on personal strengths to face stress, relationship strain, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.
Narrative Therapy helps people rework the stories they tell about themselves. It can be useful for processing trauma, grief, and life changes by separating the person from the problem and highlighting alternative, more helpful meanings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they may blend techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different communication styles while working toward goals.
