More about Janelle

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping young adults, women, and first responders address challenges like social anxiety, life transitions, and personal growth. I bring compassionate expertise to issues including stress, depression, addiction, and anger management.
My approach is deeply collaborative and affirming, focusing on building self-love, discovering life purpose, and healing from guilt and shame. I understand the nuanced experiences of multicultural communities and those facing unique challenges like immigration and intellectual disabilities.
I believe in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, develop resilient coping strategies, and move toward meaningful personal transformation. My work is grounded in understanding each person's unique journey and supporting their inherent strengths.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
