About Janelle
Janelle Staviski is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She focuses on practical steps that can reduce daily overwhelm and ease social anxiety and phobia. Her style is straightforward and relationship-minded, aimed at making therapy feel doable for busy people.
She frames work around each person's strengths and preferences. Sessions start by identifying immediate concerns and manageable goals. Janelle uses a trauma-informed lens, which means she pays attention to how past harm shows up in current worries and relationships.
Background and approach
Her background includes seven years of professional experience across clinical settings and telehealth. She combines attention to emotional safety with real-world techniques people can practice between sessions. That might look like breathing and grounding tools, communication skills practice, or steps for reducing avoidance.
Janelle often helps people who struggle with guilt and shame related to stressful life events. She also supports those working through communication problems that feed anxiety. Therapy is paced to the person's readiness and comfort level rather than pushing quick fixes.
Sessions are available through multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule. She works in English and accepts international clients. People interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that works for them.
Evidence-based care and flexible online options
Janelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing symptoms and building skills. One common approach is trauma-informed care, which looks at how past harm affects current reactions and relationships and uses gentle, paced strategies to reduce reactivity. Another frequent focus is anxiety management skills, such as breathing exercises, graded exposure to feared situations, and practical behavior changes to lower avoidance and increase functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routines. That shared planning helps make sessions feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and role-play skills, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
