About Janell

Janell Moore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and concerns tied to adoption and foster care. She works with adults on relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, mood disorders, attention differences, and self-esteem. Janell aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and figure out practical next steps.

Janell draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead. She applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or depression. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation and coping tools.

Her practice balances emotional work with real-world strategies. Sessions often include skill practice, gentle challenges to unhelpful thoughts, and grounded breathing or awareness exercises. The focus is on learning tools that can be used between sessions so progress continues in daily life.

Janell has been counseling for 12 years and holds LPC and LMHC credentials. She works from Missouri and conducts therapy in English. People choosing her often want steady, practical support for messy life problems and transitions.

To begin, she asks people to identify goals and priorities, then collaboratively build a treatment plan. Progress is tracked in plain terms so gains are clear and adjustments can be made as needed.

How Janell’s approaches translate to online work

Janell commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities so sessions feel grounded in what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches small, testable changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT skills teach concrete strategies for handling intense emotions and improving communication. Mindfulness exercises help people notice their experience without getting swept up by it, which can be useful for stress, anger, and grief.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can adjust over time as progress is made or priorities shift, keeping the work collaborative and practical.

Session format options are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, or making it simpler to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide how to use these methods effectively in remote sessions.
