Janna Fennell , LPC, LPCC

Janna Fennell, LPC, LPCC, focuses on helping people who are ready to stop self-sabotage and make real changes. She speaks plainly, sets clear expectations, and invites clients who are willing to do the work to try new skills and face difficult feelings. She uses a direct but compassionate style and asks clients to take an active role in their healing.

Her approach combines practical tools with emotional understanding. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas to help people manage shame, grief, and relationship patterns.

Janna has about ten years of clinical experience and holds licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota and Virginia. Her background includes work in schools, private practice, and online settings. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, and life transitions.

She encourages short-term skill building and regular practice between sessions. Expect clear questions, feedback, and exercises to try outside of appointments. The goal is to help clients develop habits they can keep using after therapy ends.

Janna also pays attention to body-based tools like breathwork and progressive muscle relaxation. That practical focus pairs with empathy for the hard parts of change. People who want honest, straightforward guidance and are ready to engage in the process may find her way of working a good fit.

Practical approaches for online healing

Janna often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts that lead to unhelpful behaviors and practicing new ways of thinking and acting; it can help with anxiety, depression, insomnia, and habit change. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and coping; it can help with abandonment, codependency, and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and challenges, then suggest techniques to try. Sessions may combine skill-building, emotion-focused reflection, and body-based practices like breathwork when useful, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversation and practice, phone sessions can suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat is useful for short updates or focused problem-solving, and messaging supports ongoing check-ins and homework. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules.
