About Terry

Terry Janelle is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LPCC) in Kentucky with 18 years of experience as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and grief.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with those coping with career strain, compassion fatigue, and complex emotional issues such as guilt, shame, and attachment struggles. Her style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental, emphasizing respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

She draws from an eclectic set of methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused strategies, client-centered work, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Terry frames therapy as a collaborative process that supports personal growth and practical change.

She offers sessions in multiple online formats and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic dialogue that prioritizes the clients perspective and strengths to build insight and self-directed growth. DBT combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work and occurs collaboratively. The therapist will explore a clients goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and then blend techniques to fit what helps most in practical terms. Flexibility in method and ongoing adjustment guide the process so clients and therapist can evaluate what feels most effective.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options provide scheduling flexibility and allow people to continue consistent work from different locations while using tools and exercises adapted for remote sessions.
