About Janet
Janet Ferrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Tennessee with 37 years of experience in mental health. She has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and with people facing addiction, domestic violence, mood concerns, and trauma. Her background includes work with adolescents and adults, not small children.
Janet uses approaches that include Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and guided imagery. She describes therapy as a process that should be shaped to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions focus on practical skills as well as processing difficult emotions.
People come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship wounds, anger, and sleep problems. She also works with challenges such as parenting strain, abandonment issues, adoption and foster care history, and chronic illness or pain. Concerns listed include bipolar disorder, codependency, and trauma and abuse.
In sessions she talks through patterns, teaches coping and emotion-regulation skills, and uses imagery and mindful exercises to reduce reactivity. She aims to make the conversation straightforward and usable in daily life. The work balances skill-building with attention to feelings that have stuck from the past.
Her practice language is English and she sees people in Tennessee. Janet notes that international clients are not accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's booking flow.
How Janet uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It prioritizes the client's perspective and helps clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines skill teaching and discussion so clients can try tools and adjust the plan as they go.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, supporting shorter check-ins between in-person visits, or offering choices when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Many people find that video or phone sessions allow them to practice skills in real-life contexts and keep therapy consistent with day-to-day demands.
