About Terry
Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 18 years of experience as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering calm, straightforward guidance. Her work often covers stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and reactions to trauma and abuse.
She uses practical methods drawn from several approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. Conversations are usually warm and collaborative, with an emphasis on respect and avoiding stigmatizing labels.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be interactive and solution-minded while validating the client's experience. Terry adapts the pace and tools she uses to what a person needs right now. She may use cognitive-behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking or skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are also used to build momentum and small wins. People often come for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, work pressures, or issues with impulsivity and self-esteem. She also addresses caregiver fatigue, blended family challenges, attachment concerns, and questions around life purpose.
Terry describes therapy as a team effort. Together she and the client set goals, try methods that fit daily life, and adjust the plan as progress is made. She encourages honest conversation and practical steps that can be used outside sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy places the client's goals and experience at the center of each session, with the therapist listening and responding to what matters most. This approach helps people who want a supportive, person-led process to clarify values and make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, and stress management because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for intense moods and impulsivity. Those struggling with strong reactions or difficulty managing impulses often find these techniques helpful to use in daily life.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist work together to find what fits a person's schedule, preferences, and challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact without travel.
