About Janna Fennell

Janna Fennell is a licensed counselor who offers a direct, compassionate, and practical approach to therapy. With LPC and LPCC credentials - indicating she is licensed to practice as a professional counselor and a licensed professional clinical counselor - she brings a decade of clinical experience supporting teens and young adults as well as families across school, private practice, and online settings. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College with majors in Psychology and English and a theater minor, and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University.

Janna combines evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-informed perspectives and client-centered methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Her style is direct yet collaborative - she asks thought-provoking questions, offers honest feedback, and provides practical tools to use between sessions. She encourages consistent attendance and active participation so progress can be sustained outside the therapy hour.

A certified yoga instructor (CYT-200) who is pursuing further training in Integrative Mental Health, Janna also uses mindfulness practices, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathwork as adjuncts to talk therapy when appropriate. She has specialized training in Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT for Insomnia, and Experiential Play Therapy, and continues to expand her experience working with complex trauma (C-PTSD). Janna welcomes motivated clients who are ready to engage in meaningful, sometimes challenging work to create lasting change in their lives.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and developing practical skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with commitment to meaningful action - it can be helpful for stress, avoidance, and persistent emotional pain. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating formed in early relationships and how they show up in current connections; it can support work on intimacy, abandonment concerns, codependency, and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janna collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so care remains tailored and practical. The aim is to build tools that clients can use beyond sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can access consistent care from home, work, or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and receive support in ways that suit individual communication styles.
