Janelle Staviski, LCSW

Janelle Staviski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience helping people navigate trauma, stress, anxiety, and postpartum mood concerns. She holds licenses in Michigan and Texas and has earned additional certifications in trauma and telemental health that support her work with clients facing a range of emotional and relational challenges.

Her clinical practice centers on trauma-informed care that recognizes how past experiences shape present difficulties, along with a client-centered stance that values each person’s strengths and goals. Janelle also emphasizes a relationship-focused approach, working to build trust and collaboration so interventions fit the individual rather than a predetermined model.

When working with clients she combines practical, evidence-based techniques with careful attention to personal preferences and cultural context. She assists people managing generalized anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, and postpartum mood disorders, and offers targeted support for concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Treatment plans are tailored to each client’s unique needs and adjusted as progress unfolds, always guided by the client’s priorities and pace.

Trauma-Informed and Client-Centered Care Online

Janelle uses trauma-informed practice to recognize how past events influence current symptoms and relationships. This approach focuses on safety, understanding triggers, and building coping skills so people affected by trauma, stress, or abuse can regain a sense of stability and control.

She also practices a client-centered method that prioritizes each person’s goals and strengths. That means therapy is collaborative and tailored - the therapist listens first, then adapts evidence-based techniques to fit the client’s needs, whether they are dealing with anxiety, postpartum mood changes, or social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janelle works together with clients to explore what feels most effective and makes adjustments over time based on progress, preferences, and life circumstances. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment aligns with practical goals and personal values.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style while supporting consistent, ongoing work toward the client’s goals.
