About Janna
Janna Fennell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Sessions are direct and practical, with an emphasis on learning skills to change unhelpful patterns.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback and tools to practice between sessions. Janna uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address emotions, attachment patterns, and the thoughts that keep someone stuck. She also draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas when helping people talk through painful memories and current conflicts.
She describes a collaborative style that asks clients to engage actively in the work. That may include noticing emotional patterns, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing new responses to stress or relationship triggers outside of sessions. Progress often involves uncomfortable self-reflection and steady effort over time.
Janna has worked in school settings, private practice, and online environments with teens and young adults and people across a range of concerns. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in Counseling. She holds Minnesota LPC and Virginia LPCC credentials.
If someone wants to try therapy that focuses on feelings, attachment, and practical skills, Janna offers an approach that combines emotion-focused work with evidence-informed techniques. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's process to schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and how they shape patterns in relationships and daily life. It helps people notice attachment-related reactions and practice new, more connected responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and learn to accept difficult thoughts while taking committed action toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers step-by-step strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janna will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean emphasizing emotional awareness and attachment themes in one period of work and focusing on CBT skills or ACT exercises during another. Clients help set priorities and adjust the focus as therapy progresses.
The biography notes experience providing therapy online but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between in-person appointments, or letting someone choose a quieter time in their day. Licensed professionals can still use interactive tools, worksheets, and between-session exercises to support progress when meeting remotely.
