About Terry
Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 18 years of experience as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and related concerns like guilt and shame.
She describes her style as interactive and respectful. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats concerns directly rather than labeling the person.
Her work draws on several approaches so she can match methods to the issue. She uses client-centered methods to follow a person's priorities. She applies cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses trauma-informed and dialectical strategies when regulation and safety are priorities.
In practice she blends short-term tools with deeper work. That might mean skill-building for managing anger or anxiety alongside exploration of family of origin issues. She also addresses life transitions, caregiver stress, and concerns tied to identity or purpose.
Terry helps people talk through forgiveness, guilt and shame without judgment. She supports practical changes for daily functioning, such as communication skills or coping plans. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online therapy options button.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experience. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people name what matters most. This approach is useful for those who need a paced, person-led conversation about guilt, relationships, or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps. Online CBT sessions often include homework, thought records, and practical skill practice to address anxiety, depression, and self-critical thoughts tied to shame.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In online work these skills are taught through practice, real-time coaching, and small behavior experiments to reduce impulsivity and overwhelming shame responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made, with a mix of short-term tools and deeper exploration as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, video sessions when visual cues help, or phone conversations when bandwidth is limited. These practical options help integrate therapeutic work with everyday responsibilities.
