About Janet
Janet Ferrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with 37 years of experience in mental health care. She has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and has supported people facing addiction, domestic violence, mood conditions, and other mental health concerns. She has experience with adolescents and adults but not with small children.
Janet uses a mix of practical methods in her work. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and existential approaches. Sessions include mindful exercises and guided imagery when those tools fit the client’s needs.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what each person needs. She prefers to adapt sessions rather than applying a fixed protocol. That can mean short skills practice one week and deeper emotional work the next.
Janet often helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and body image.
People who choose Janet can expect clear explanations of therapeutic options and practical steps to try between sessions. To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with strong emotions and attachment patterns. It can help people notice how feelings shape their responses and learn new ways to express needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, letting the client set the pace while the therapist reflects and clarifies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janet will discuss these methods with each person and choose which fit the presenting concerns, goals, and personal preferences. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as needs shift.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or letting someone join a session from a different location. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these conveniences to keep continuity of care while focusing on skills practice, emotional processing, and planning next steps.
