Janelle Green , LICSW

Janelle Green is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. She focuses on practical support for compassion fatigue and the emotional strain that comes with caregiving or chronic illness. Her tone is steady and encouraging, aimed at people ready to take small steps toward feeling better.

Janelle believes clients know their own story and brings a respectful, listening approach to sessions. She uses evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns, try new skills, and build on what already works. Conversations are straightforward and geared toward real-life changes rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes five years of professional practice in Washington as a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. That experience includes working with people facing serious illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the stress that comes with caregiving. She also supports those dealing with blended family issues, communication problems, and persistent guilt or shame.

In sessions she draws on several approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to address mood disorders, isolation, and control issues in everyday life. The goal is clearer values, steadier mood, and better coping skills.

Conversations can happen in ways that fit a client's life, including video, phone, chat, or text. Janelle aims to make therapy workable for people juggling health concerns, money stress, or demanding jobs.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small, value-driven actions. It can help with grief, low motivation, and making changes when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying behavioral experiments to shift mood and activity levels. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects so clients can find their own solutions. This approach supports building self-esteem and working through shame or guilt.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Janelle will talk through goals and preferences and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps tailor tools to a person’s situation rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit better into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text can be helpful for short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or keeping momentum on difficult days. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into caregiving routines, work schedules, or recovery plans.
