About Janell
Janell Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Janell writes plainly and listens closely so people can talk about what matters.
She frames sessions as a place to name painful feelings and to try practical ways of responding. Janell draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thought patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based approaches to look at values and relationship patterns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Janell encourages short experiments between meetings, simple skill practice, and reflection on what helps most. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and guilt and shame, and she supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image concerns, and isolation.
Her approach mixes direct feedback with listening. Clients can expect clear suggestions, practical tools, and time to process what comes up. Janell aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them and to find manageable steps forward.
She provides services in English and practices in Louisiana. People who want to try therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Janell uses therapy methods online
Many of Janell's common approaches translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments; it helps people reduce anxious thinking and change unhelpful behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for distress, which can be useful for impulsivity and mood swings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions toward them even when uncomfortable feelings remain.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Janell will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, and together they will choose which approaches and exercises to try. This collaborative decision happens early and can be adjusted over time.
