About Janelle
Janelle Butler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues. She works with grief, trauma, parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, career stress, and people coping with major life changes. Janelle practices in Washington and communicates in English and American Sign Language.
She began her counseling career in the greater Seattle area and brings nine years of experience that includes community mental health work.
Background and approach
That background exposed her to many different life situations and a wide range of presenting concerns. She uses that experience to meet people where they are without judgment. Her day-to-day approach focuses on spotting the unhelpful patterns and beliefs that keep people stuck.
Janelle helps clients change those patterns or shift how they see them, aiming for improvements that last rather than quick fixes. She highlights hope as an important part of recovery and works to rebuild it when people feel overwhelmed by despair.
Janelle draws from several counseling methods, including Attachment-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work. Sessions emphasize practical skills, real-life steps, and steady emotional support. She also brings experience addressing adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and dissociation.
Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative. Janelle encourages questions and partners with each person to set realistic goals and small steps forward.

Online support
Attachment and skill-based approaches for online care
Janelle uses Attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach focuses on emotional connections and helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment worries, or repeating old relational patterns.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps pick techniques that feel useful and realistic.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support short check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or other routines.
