About Terry
Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 18 years of experience. She has worked as a counselor, life coach, and consultant and helps people with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting problems, ADHD, grief, and stress.
Her background includes work with people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That mix includes cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-focused work, dialectical behavioral methods, solution-focused steps, and client-centered conversation.
In session she focuses on practical, everyday changes. She listens and then suggests skills or small experiments to try between meetings. Sessions often include learning tools for managing strong emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and improving communication with others.
Terry pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin issues and attachment concerns. She helps people notice how those early roles and expectations still influence choices, reactions, and relationships now. That often leads to clearer boundaries and different ways of relating.
She also brings coaching-style work for people looking at career direction, life purpose, or behavior change. That can mean short-term goal setting, check-ins, and problem-solving to track progress.
To begin, she asks about current struggles and what a successful next step would look like. From there she and the client agree on practical tools and a plan to try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a working relationship, letting the person guide what matters most and shaping sessions around their concerns. It helps when someone needs to clarify goals or discuss family of origin patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior, such as addressing anxious thoughts or setting manageable steps for mood and routine changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try approaches that fit those goals. They will check in and adjust the plan based on what helps in everyday life.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and make it possible to practice skills in real-world settings between meetings. Confirm available session options during the matching and scheduling steps so the chosen format fits your routine and needs.
