Janet Ferrell , LPC

Janet Ferrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee with 37 years of experience in mental health care. She has worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and with individuals facing addiction, domestic violence, and a range of mental health concerns. Her clinical background includes therapeutic work with adolescents and adults, though she does not work with small children.

Ferrell is particularly skilled in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and she also incorporates mindfulness practices and guided imagery into treatment when appropriate. She approaches therapy as an individualized process, adapting methods to fit each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and strategies to manage stress, mood disorders, relationship challenges, grief, and substance-related problems.

Throughout her long career she has supported people dealing with trauma, parenting and blended family issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and challenges with self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her work reflects a commitment to meeting clients where they are and helping them pursue meaningful change through evidence-informed methods and compassionate clinical care.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Janet Ferrell

Janet Ferrell uses evidence-informed methods that translate well to online care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for mood instability, coping with intense emotions, and relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and to build a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janet works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of techniques best fits their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds and new challenges arise.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility for individuals with busy schedules, mobility limits, or caregiving responsibilities. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to engage in therapy from their chosen location and to integrate treatment into daily life with greater ease while maintaining consistent access to clinical support.
