About Janet
Janet Ferrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 37 years working in mental health. She has experience in inpatient and outpatient settings and has supported people dealing with addiction, domestic violence, and a range of mental health concerns. Janet has worked with adolescents and adults and brings long-standing clinical experience to her work.
Janet takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. She believes therapy should be tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all.
Background and approach
Sessions include practical strategies alongside chances to look at deeper meaning and values. She aims to make the therapy space calm and welcoming so people can speak honestly. Her work often draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as tools to manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns.
She also uses mindfulness and guided imagery to help people slow down and notice what matters. Existential ideas - questions about purpose, choice, and responsibility - appear when clients want that deeper exploration. Janet helps with a wide range of concerns.
These include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship problems, parenting strain, sleep issues, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses related topics such as codependency, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Janet works with each person to set clear goals and to choose practical steps toward them.
She encourages steady effort and offers skills and reflection to help people move forward.

Online support
How Janet’s Approaches Work Online
Janet commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential therapy ideas in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood patterns. Existential approaches invite reflection on values, meaning, and choices to help people facing life changes or deeper questions about purpose.She also brings Client-Centered principles to sessions, offering a listening stance that helps people feel heard while they try new skills. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janet collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support, or people who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
