About Janelle
Janelle Murray, LCSW, helps people who are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety find clearer footing. She works with individuals facing trauma, relationship strain, depression, grief, and challenges like parenting or workplace stress. Her style aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and measured.
Janelle trained in social work and has practiced since 2014, bringing nine years of clinical experience. She draws on a strengths-based perspective to help people notice skills and resources they already have.
Background and approach
That approach is practical and straightforward - she helps clients spot what’s working and build from there. Her background includes in-home work, which developed her skill at building rapport quickly and helping people settle during crises. She uses tools for stress management, stabilization, and improving how people relate to one another.
Those skills inform the way she structures sessions and sets small, achievable goals. Janelle uses a mix of approaches to match different needs. She incorporates client-centered methods, cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking, narrative strategies to reframe life stories, and solution-focused methods to target immediate concerns.
She also brings experience with trauma-informed ideas when past harm is part of the picture. Clients can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes strengths, clear steps, and real-world problem solving. Janelle practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting you where you are. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name goals, and supports the changes you want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Narrative therapy helps people reframe their life stories and separate them from painful events, which can reduce shame and open new choices.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Janelle will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying a method, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people have a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and texting are useful for brief coaching, check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
