Janet Ferrell , LPC

Janet Ferrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Mental Health Service Provider designation who brings 37 years of experience in mental health care. She has worked across a range of settings, including inpatient and outpatient treatment, and has extensive experience with addiction issues, domestic violence, and other mental health concerns. Her work has focused on adolescents and adults rather than very young children.

Janet specializes in therapies that promote practical skills and emotional regulation, and she is particularly skilled in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She incorporates mindfulness practices and guided imagery into her sessions to help clients develop coping strategies and increase present-moment awareness. Janet believes each person is unique, and she adapts her therapeutic approach to fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

In sessions she aims to create a welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable exploring difficult topics such as grief, trauma, relationship struggles, addiction, mood disorders, and life transitions. Janet frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients who are ready to pursue change, recognizing the courage it takes to begin that work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Janet Ferrell

Janet Ferrell uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients develop skills and insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond to structured skill-building. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help people manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathetic listening and collaboration, allowing the client to lead the pace and focus of change while the therapist offers support and validation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she tailors interventions so the work feels relevant and manageable. This collaborative stance helps identify which methods are most likely to be helpful for a given person.

Online therapy with Janet is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, attend sessions from home or work, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions as needed, while licensed professionals adjust interventions to fit the chosen format.
