How Janell blends therapy approaches online

Janell commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical alternatives; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and mood regulation. Client-centered work prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals, which supports self-esteem and deeper exploration.

She also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills into sessions when people struggle with intense emotions or impulsive behavior. DBT offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective communication, which can be useful for relationship and anger issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and happens together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress is tracked and new concerns come up.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone wants shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
