About Janell

Janell Brown is a licensed professional counselor with 21 years of clinical experience in Louisiana. She has spent her career supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes thoughtful listening and a calm, steady presence that helps clients explore difficult feelings and patterns without judgement. She integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based approaches, and elements of dialectical behavior and client-centered therapy.

Janell aims to collaborate with each person to identify practical steps and personal values that guide change, whether the work involves communication struggles, grief around separation, managing mood or addressing issues like abandonment, shame, or isolation. She recognizes that reaching out for help is a meaningful first step and seeks to make the process approachable and respectful.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Janell commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday stress. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful goals despite difficult emotions. Attachment-based techniques are used to explore relational patterns and emotional bonds that influence how people connect and respond to conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so sessions feel relevant and practical rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy with Janell is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit care into busy schedules. These options provide flexibility for people who prefer face-to-face video or those who engage better through shorter, message-based contact, while licensed professionals guide the therapeutic plan and next steps.
