Background and approach

Conversations often include naming values, noticing patterns, and trying small behavioral changes. Janelle uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person’s needs. She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe painful experiences and separate identity from circumstance.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral ideas when helpful to shift unhelpful thoughts and take small action steps. Sessions can focus on coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, blended family issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, or isolation. She also supports people dealing with hospice and end-of-life matters and first responder stress.

Janelle aims to keep goals practical and measurable so progress feels visible. Her work is warm and down-to-earth. People can expect clear, simple suggestions and a steady presence between moments of reflection.

The goal is to build skills that fit real life, not just talk about problems.

Online session options

Approaches that guide online sessions

Janelle blends Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in simple, practical ways. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful events by reauthoring personal stories, which can ease shame and clarify values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, then taking values-based actions even when emotions are strong, which can help with depression and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. This collaborative process helps match methods to a person's needs rather than committing to a single model up front.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a walk or a break at work and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or have shorter, focused check-ins when a full session isn't possible. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around everyday life.
