Janna Fennell, LPC, LPCC

Janna Fennell, LPC, LPCC welcomes people who are ready to do honest work on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and will be direct when needed, while still offering empathy and practical tools. If you want to stop self-sabotaging and learn new skills, she encourages a steady, engaged approach to change.

Janna uses techniques that help people change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and draws in mindfulness, breathwork, and relaxation practices. Sessions include concrete tools to try between meetings and questions that prompt reflection and action.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University and a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College. She holds licensure as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota and as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, and she has about ten years of clinical experience working in schools, private practice, and online settings.

Janna has worked with teens and young adults in school settings and with a wide range of concerns such as grief, insomnia, attachment issues, codependency, and life transitions. Her approach is collaborative and sometimes direct; she expects clients to engage in sessions and try tools outside therapy to see progress.

She also brings complementary practices into sessions, including guided relaxation and mindfulness. Janna aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking practical steps toward the life they want.

How selected therapies translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while moving toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making value-driven life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thinking patterns that lead to unwanted behaviors and then practicing new ways of thinking and acting to change outcomes. It often helps with mood, anxiety, insomnia, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit sessions into a workday or busy routine. Online work can also make it simpler to use mindfulness, breathing, and relaxation practices between sessions. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking to know whether video, audio, or messaging is offered. Licensed professionals can still use ACT and CBT techniques effectively in an online setting, focusing on concrete skills and homework that fit into everyday life.
