About Terry
Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 18 years of experience as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of life challenges. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat each person with respect and compassion.
Terry keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and which skills will make day-to-day life easier. Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas. She mixes these methods to match each person’s needs rather than following one fixed plan.
Terry has supported people with relationship and family concerns, parenting and caregiver stress, grief, eating issues, career questions, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar mood concerns. She also works with people processing attachment wounds, codependency, guilt and shame, and isolation. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce overwhelming feelings.
Terry encourages practical steps you can try between sessions. She frames progress as a series of small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves active listening and tailoring conversations around the client's priorities to help build self-understanding and confidence. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive space to talk and be heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes strategies for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clear communication, which can help with impulsivity, anger, and interpersonal problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then shape an approach that fits. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and pick the format that best matches energy levels or technical limits.
