About Janell

Janell Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Missouri. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with a broad range of emotional and behavioral issues like stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. Janell aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for busy families.

Sessions center on clear goals and steps parents can try between meetings. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.

Background and approach

She listens first and then helps people sort what matters most. Janell uses everyday language and practical tools rather than jargon. She encourages skills that people can use right away at home and with their children.

Her clinical work draws on several approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), and mindfulness. She blends techniques to match each person’s needs and daily routines. That mix helps with mood, behavior, and relationship patterns that affect family life.

Janell has practiced for 12 years and holds the LPC and LMHC credentials. She has experience helping people manage sleep and eating concerns, parenting stress, attention issues, trauma, and communication problems. Her sessions look at emotional, social, and practical factors that shape how families cope.

People who choose her often want hands-on strategies and a calm, steady guide. She supports small, sustainable changes so parents and caregivers can see progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Therapeutic approaches and online care for families

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so parents and caregivers feel heard and understood; it helps when people need a supportive space to talk through family concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills for changing thoughts and behaviors that worsen anxiety, mood, or parenting stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance tools that can be useful when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify the best fit based on each family’s goals, daily routines, and preferences. That process is collaborative, and techniques are adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy households. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions provide a simple alternative, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school nights, work days, and caregiving schedules.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
