Janelle Alexander, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Janelle

Janelle Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience in mental health care. She holds LCSW credentials in California and Florida and works from Florida. Her background includes long-term work supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addictions.

She aims for straightforward, respectful work with clients. Janelle emphasizes compassion and sensitivity in sessions and treats people with dignity. She often combines different therapy methods to match what each person needs.

Background and approach

In practice she helps people address relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those managing ADHD and motivation challenges. Sessions focus on clear steps and practical skills as well as emotional understanding.

Her training includes approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those tools are used selectively based on the person's situation and goals. Janelle knows that beginning therapy takes courage and she welcomes questions about how the process works.

She works with each person to set reasonable, achievable goals and reviews progress as care continues.

Approaches and online care that fit busy families

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps identify priorities, and creates a calm space to talk about family and parenting stresses.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect actions and feelings. It teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns that often affect family life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be useful when strong emotions or frequent conflicts get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janelle will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process is gradual and revisited as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions can work when video isn’t convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use a different format when needed. These options increase flexibility and help maintain continuity of care when life gets hectic.

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.
