About Janelle
Janelle Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of professional experience across California and Florida. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, PTSD, depression, addictions, grief, anger, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
Her background reflects long-term practice helping clients build confidence and find practical ways to manage difficult emotions. Her style emphasizes respect, compassion, and sensitivity to each person's circumstances.
Janelle practices an integrative, client-centered approach, drawing from several evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, mindfulness practices, and elements of the Gottman method when appropriate. She aims to tailor interventions to each individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.
Janelle encourages those who are ready to begin the work of change, acknowledging the courage it takes to reach out. She meets clients where they are, collaborates on goals, and supports steady progress through practical strategies and reflective conversation.
Integrative Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Janelle frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective skills, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel understood and supported while they explore goals and challenges.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are primary concerns. DBT offers practical coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions to build steady improvements in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns, preferences, and goals with each person and tailor a plan that may combine elements from these approaches. Clients are invited to give feedback so techniques and pacing can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home. These formats allow for ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and multiple ways to engage depending on comfort and need.
