About Janelle
Janelle Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience helping people work through stress and anxiety. She holds LCSW credentials and practices in Florida. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers straightforward support for people seeking change.
She focuses on practical skills that help with everyday problems like low mood, worry, trouble sleeping, and difficulty concentrating. She also works with people facing relationship strain, grief, anger, and challenges related to trauma, addiction, bipolar mood patterns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct and grounded in real-life needs. Her style is client-centered, meaning sessions begin by listening closely to what matters most to each person. From there she blends methods to fit the situation, using tools from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior approaches, mindfulness, and relationship-focused techniques.
This flexible mix helps shape goals and homework that feel useful. In sessions she emphasizes respect and compassion. She partners with people on steps they can take between meetings, such as simple mood-checks, breathing practices, or small behavior changes to reduce stress.
The work aims to build confidence and momentum over time. Janelle encourages realistic pacing and collaboration. She recognizes starting therapy can feel hard and supports people through that first stretch.
Her approach is practical and aimed at steady, achievable progress.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. Sessions emphasize the individual's experience and use their strengths to guide goals, which helps when someone is unsure where to begin with anxiety or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going. It uses simple exercises and short assignments to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for worry, panic, and low motivation.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving stress tolerance. It offers practical strategies for regulating feelings and improving relationships when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences and adjust those methods as progress is made. This is a team process focused on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues during sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing skills practice between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.
