Terry Janelle , LPCC

Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Kentucky with 18 years of experience as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, and related concerns. Terry keeps conversations warm and interactive and aims to meet clients where they are.

Her approach draws from several methods so sessions are tailored to the person in front of her. She uses client-centered work to build trust and clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Trauma-focused and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available for those coping with intense emotional work.

Terry often combines mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps to help people manage symptoms between sessions. She focuses on clear, actionable strategies - skills to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. These methods are used alongside conversational coaching about life purpose, career decisions, and family concerns.

People who reach out can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone. Terry avoids stigmatizing labels and works to understand each person’s history and goals. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with practical goals and check-ins to track progress.

She also pays attention to issues that often come together with primary concerns, such as attachment struggles, codependency, caregiver stress, grief, and communication problems. This lets her address both immediate symptoms and the background patterns that keep those problems coming back.

Terry supports people through transitions, difficult feelings, and the aftermath of abuse or trauma. Her work includes coaching for life changes and helping clients build stronger coping skills for long-term resilience.

How therapeutic methods translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s needs and building a respectful relationship. Online sessions use this approach to make sure goals reflect the client’s priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments; it works well online through guided exercises and homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process - methods can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily realities.
