Janetta Berry- Sissoko, LPCC, LCPC

Janetta Berry-Sissoko is a licensed counselor based in Texas with 10 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals managing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance use issues, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting and career stresses, and challenges like anger, low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and compassion fatigue. Her practice emphasizes practical, goal-oriented work that helps clients move from feeling stuck to making sustainable changes.

She holds LPCC and LCPC credentials, which indicate professional licenses to practice as a counselor. Janetta blends a warm, collaborative manner with clear structure, aiming to create a respectful environment where clients feel heard and valued. Her approach balances empathy with active problem-solving so each person can develop coping skills that fit their daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is her primary method, and she uses it to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then replace them with more effective strategies. Treatment is always tailored - sessions and plans are adapted to each client’s unique needs, goals, and circumstances. Janetta views reaching out for support as a courageous first step and partners with clients to pursue growth, healing, and meaningful, lasting change.

Approaches in Online Therapy and What to Expect

Janetta primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured, evidence-informed approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, test them against reality, and build more effective ways of coping. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related concerns.

She also emphasizes individualized treatment planning - tailoring sessions and goals to each person’s situation so work is practical and relevant. This means clients can expect concrete tools and exercises that address their specific challenges, whether those relate to relationships, addiction concerns, mood management, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Janetta works with clients to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust the plan over time so the therapy fits personal goals and preferences. Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, let therapy fit around work and family responsibilities, and support ongoing contact between sessions when appropriate.
