Janell Brown, LPC - Therapist in Louisiana

About Janell

Janell Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 21 years of experience in Louisiana. She focuses on family and parenting concerns, stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma and abuse. Janell aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and encouraging for parents and caregivers.

Her approach begins with creating an open space where people can say what they are feeling without judgment. She listens closely and helps families name the patterns that get in the way of connection.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and directed toward small, doable changes that bring relief. Janell draws on a mix of proven therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT, acceptance and commitment therapy - ACT, and attachment-based work. She uses tools from these approaches to address communication problems, attachment issues, and caregiver stress.

She also brings strategies from dialectical behavior therapy - DBT and client-centered therapy when emotion regulation or deeper exploration is needed. Her background across two decades gives her experience with divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, multicultural concerns, and men’s issues. She helps clients sort through priorities and set realistic steps forward.

Janell explains options clearly and partners with families to find what fits their life. Sessions are offered in English and carried out online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She is licensed as an LPC in Louisiana (LA LPC 2650) and in Texas (TX LPC 63330).

Therapeutic approaches to try online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT invites people to notice painful thoughts without fighting them and to choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance keep a parent from doing what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life steps to reduce stress and mood symptoms. It is useful for everyday anxiety and managing strong reactions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current family communication; it can help caregivers rebuild trust and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janell will talk with each person or family about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online visits via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging give practical flexibility for busy families. These options make it easier to fit sessions into school and work schedules, follow up between meetings, and use tools from sessions at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills to the format that best fits a family's routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
