Terry Janelle, LPCC - Therapist in Kentucky

About Terry

Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 18 years of experience in Kentucky. She has worked as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. Terry focuses on practical help for everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, parenting concerns, and ADHD.

She also supports people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Her style is warm and interactive. She listens without judgment and treats people with respect and sensitivity.

Background and approach

Conversations are tailored to each person's situation rather than using one fixed method. Terry draws from several therapeutic approaches to build a plan that fits the person in front of her. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral work, grounding strategies from trauma-focused care, and skills-based methods from dialectical behavior approaches.

She also values client-centered listening and solution-focused steps to meet short-term goals. Sessions often include step-by-step coping skills, communication practice, and problem-solving exercises. Parents may find concrete techniques for managing stress and improving daily routines.

People recovering from abusive experiences can work through practical strategies for safety, boundaries, and emotional regulation. Terry frames therapy as a collaborative journey. She encourages small, achievable changes and offers coaching-style feedback when helpful.

Her aim is to help people feel steadier and better able to meet life's demands.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust. It creates space for people to tell their story and decide what matters most to them, which can help with motivation and clearer goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and habits into manageable steps. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges by teaching practical coping and thinking skills.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, provides concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It is useful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past. Together they will adjust methods as progress is made so the plan fits the person's needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice and homework through these formats, helping people build steady routines and cope between sessions.

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.
