Janell Brown

Janell Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience in Louisiana. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, and abuse. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for someone who is already feeling overwhelmed.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and practical. Janell listens first, then works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.

Her approach draws on several well-known methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based choices and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships that affect current stress and connection.

Janell also uses tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centered work to build emotion regulation and stronger communication. She pays attention to cultural background and the unique pressures people face in daily life. Common topics include body image, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, and isolation.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Janell encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change. If you are ready to begin, she asks people to use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Online work can use several approaches to help with stress, relationships, and trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety and mood concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that match those values to reduce avoidance and increase meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and helps people understand how past connections shape current reactions and communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you can try a method and adjust it over time so the work fits your needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they can fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life examples into conversation.
