Janelle Green, LICSW

Janelle Green is a Washington-licensed therapist with five years of clinical experience who focuses on supporting people through grief, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety, and major life transitions. She works from a strengths-based perspective and encourages clients to recognize the resources and resilience they already possess as they face difficult challenges.

Holding the LICSW credential - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - she combines practical strategies with empathic listening to help clients build motivation, regain confidence, and adapt to change. Janelle emphasizes that each person is the expert on their own story and that therapy is a collaborative process aimed at uncovering what will move each individual toward a more fulfilling life.

She understands that taking the first step toward change takes courage, and she is committed to offering supportive, empowering guidance throughout the journey. Whether addressing grief and loss or navigating shifts in mood and life circumstances, Janelle aims to help clients develop coping tools and clearer paths forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Janelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and take purposeful action toward meaningful goals; this approach can be useful for coping with grief, chronic stress, and life transitions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own perspective guides the work and self-discovery; this can support rebuilding self-esteem and confidence. Additionally, she incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing depression and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time as the work evolves and as clients learn what helps them most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing circumstances and allow clients and therapists to focus on progress in ways that suit individual routines and comfort levels.
