About Janelle

Janelle Green, LICSW, supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also helps those coping with compassion fatigue and stress from caregiving and illness. Her focus includes a range of mood and adjustment concerns, and she offers practical support when money and financial issues are affecting wellbeing.

Janelle believes each person knows their story best. She approaches sessions with respect and simple, direct guidance. Conversations center on what matters most to the client, and she helps people notice strengths they may not see.

Her style mixes listening with practical tools. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and uses mindfulness to build calm and focus. Emotion-focused work and acceptance-based strategies are used when feelings and values need attention.

Over five years of practice in Washington have given her experience with caregiving strain, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and communication problems. She helps people sort through family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and codependency patterns that interfere with daily life.

Clients can expect straightforward goals and down-to-earth homework between sessions when that fits. Janelle aims to make progress feel achievable rather than overwhelming. She frames progress as small steps toward clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.

When money or financial stress shows up, she talks through how money concerns affect mood and decision making. That work is practical and linked to coping strategies, emotional awareness, and planning for next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online counseling options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a life that feels meaningful. It helps when people are stuck by avoidance or when painful feelings get in the way of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods collaboratively. That way sessions are tailored to personal needs rather than forcing one method on everyone.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people meet from quieter surroundings or pick a time that works around caregiving, medical appointments, or work shifts. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises for online meetings so practical skills and emotional support continue between sessions.
