About Janet Ferrell

Janet Ferrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who also holds a Mental Health Service Provider designation. With 37 years of experience in the mental health field, she has worked across a range of settings including inpatient and outpatient treatment programs. Her background includes supporting people facing addiction, domestic violence, and other mental health concerns, and she has focused her work with adolescents and adults rather than with small children.

Janet brings particular strength in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she frequently integrates mindfulness practices and guided imagery into her work. She views therapy as an individualized process and tailors interventions to each person's needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. Emphasizing respect for each person s unique experiences, she aims to provide an environment where clients can feel understood and begin to explore change.

Her clinical interests include addictions, family issues, grief, self esteem, bipolar disorder, stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger management, depression, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality concerns, blended family issues, body image, cancer, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, codependency, commitment and control issues, and related matters. Janet draws from a range of therapeutic approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy to meet individual needs.

Janet is not currently accepting new clients.

Could Online Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people consider whether meeting with a therapist online will meet their needs. For a variety of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions - working with a licensed professional through remote sessions can be a practical and accessible option.

A key advantage of remote therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect in whichever format feels most comfortable - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations. Therapists may use the same therapeutic approaches they would in person, adapting techniques like mindfulness, cognitive behavioral strategies, or emotionally focused work for virtual formats.

Each therapist is a licensed professional, and many services allow clients to change therapists if they would prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers a convenient way to engage in ongoing emotional work while balancing other commitments.
