Janna Fennell, LPC, LPCC

Janna Fennell encourages people to take the first step toward change and brings a direct, collaborative therapeutic style that balances honest feedback with compassion. She recognizes that meaningful growth often requires deep self-reflection, patience, and the willingness to face difficult aspects of oneself, and she works alongside clients to build practical skills and new patterns of behavior.

Her work emphasizes skill-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia, paired with body-centered techniques like mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathwork. As a certified yoga instructor (CYT-200) who is pursuing further training in integrative mental health, she draws on mind-body strategies to support stress reduction and emotional regulation. She aims to equip people with tools they can continue to use long after therapy ends.

With 10 years of experience as a mental health counselor, Janna has worked in school-based settings with PreK-12 students and families, in private practice, and in online therapy environments supporting teens and young adults. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials, indicating licensure as a professional counselor, and earned a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College followed by a Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University. Her experience spans work with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem and body image, sleep difficulties, and life transitions.

Janna's style is honest and straightforward yet compassionate; she asks thought-provoking questions, provides actionable tools for between-session work, and partners with motivated clients to foster lasting change and greater well-being.

Therapeutic approaches tailored for online care

Janna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools to address anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other everyday concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses, helping people improve attachment wounds, communication, and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Janna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines evidence-informed techniques with tailored, goal-oriented plans so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote access. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between appointments, and engage with a licensed professional from different locations, helping therapy fit into real life without sacrificing continuity of care.
