About Janelle
Janelle Green is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and feelings of guilt and shame.
Janelle approaches therapy by treating each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and practical options clients can use between sessions. Conversations are focused on clear, achievable steps rather than abstract theory.
She draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. That combination helps people notice difficult thoughts, test unhelpful patterns, and try different behaviors to see what works for them.
Sessions also use mindfulness tools and emotionally-focused ideas when people want to explore feelings and relationships. These methods are used to build new habits for coping and to reduce the constant pull of harsh self-judgment.
Janelle has worked with concerns tied to caregiving, chronic illness and end-of-life situations, blended family challenges, and first responder stress. Her work includes practical communication skills, handling money-related pressure, and managing isolation. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats.
The approaches used and how online sessions fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, consistent actions that align with those values, which can help when guilt or shame gets in the way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves testing unhelpful beliefs and practicing alternative responses, useful for depression, low self-esteem, and recurring guilt. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and supports practical problem solving and decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on their goals and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time as needs become clearer.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also allow people to practice skills in the context of everyday life, which many find helpful when addressing guilt, grief, and day-to-day coping.
