About Janelle

Janelle Green is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel steadier. Janelle emphasizes the client’s own strengths and works alongside them as they take the first steps toward change.

With five years of experience in Washington, she supports people facing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and the emotional demands of cancer or hospice care. She also addresses control issues, codependency, family of origin concerns, and difficulties with communication.

Her approach blends mindfulness techniques with cognitive and emotion-focused methods. Sessions often involve noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, learning ways to respond instead of react, and practicing skills that reduce distress in the moment.

Janelle describes the work as collaborative. She centers each person’s goals and adapts methods to fit their situation. Expect a calm, patient style that encourages small, doable changes over time.

People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, better mood management, or help carrying heavy emotions after loss or caregiving. She helps break problems into manageable steps and tracks progress together so change feels real and sustainable.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Mindfulness Therapy centers on simple attention practices and grounding exercises. Online sessions can guide a person through short mindfulness practices to help reduce reactivity and create calm during stressful moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying out new behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT often uses brief exercises and homework to test thoughts between meetings and measure small changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals and daily life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting methods together so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in their normal environment. Licensed professionals use video or phone sessions in ways that meet a person’s needs and preferences, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
