About Janna

Janna Means is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 22 years of professional experience. As an LPC, she holds training to assess and treat emotional and behavioral challenges, and she combines that formal training with a deep focus on grief and major life transitions. She is also a Board Certified-Telemental Health Provider, which reflects specialized preparation for offering therapy via remote methods. In addition, she has pursued focused training in complicated grief, grief counseling, and pet loss grief support, equipping her to guide people through the varied and often unexpected ways loss can affect daily life.

Janna believes that her own journey through loss and transformation informs her work and strengthens her capacity to support others. She views each client as the expert on their own story and emphasizes a collaborative process that draws on the clientâs strengths. Her primary areas of practice include grief and coping with life changes, and she also supports individuals and families affected by autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, caregiver stress, and hospice or end-of-life concerns.

Her approach encourages committed, step-by-step effort toward meaningful change, and she focuses on empowering clients to take responsibility for their well-being while providing steady support throughout the process.

Approaches for Grief and Life Transitions in Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative ways of coping. It is often useful for managing emotional reactions to loss, reducing avoidance, and improving day-to-day functioning. Grief-focused counseling draws on specific strategies to process bereavement, honor losses, and adapt to new realities after significant change. This work can include meaning-making, processing complicated grief reactions, and developing routines that support adjustment.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Janna Means works with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques so the plan fits each person rather than forcing a single method on everyone.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone conversations, and additional support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations, while allowing therapists and clients to maintain continuity of support during times of transition.
