Janelle Butler, LMHC

Janelle Butler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and a wide range of other concerns. She began her career working in the greater Seattle area for five years and continues to serve clients in Washington and beyond while practicing from the East Coast. Her background in community mental health means she has experience with many ages, backgrounds, and presenting issues, and she draws on that breadth when tailoring treatment to each person.

Janelle approaches therapy with an emphasis on identifying and interrupting negative patterns and beliefs that can erode emotional and physical well-being over time. She helps clients either transform those patterns into opportunities for growth or shift how they are perceived, recognizing that immediate relief is possible but lasting change generally requires sustained effort. Hope is a central theme in her practice - she views it as a key force for navigating grief, loss, and emotional pain, and she works to help clients reconnect with it when despair sets in.

Janelle uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to guide interventions and support skill development. She offers compassionate clinical support aimed at helping people better understand their struggles, build coping strategies, and move toward greater stability and peace of mind.
