About Janna
Janna Fennell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She speaks plainly, offers direct feedback, and expects clients to take an active role in their healing. Her approach suits people ready to learn new skills and do honest, sometimes difficult, self-reflection.
Janna blends practical tools with emotional work. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationships affect current patterns and reactions. Sessions include skills practice, thought work, and guided reflection. Janna uses mindfulness, breathwork, and progressive muscle relaxation as concrete tools clients can use between sessions.
She frames therapy as a collaborative effort and gives direct, compassionate feedback rather than simply agreeing with clients. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University and a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College. She holds licensure as an LPC in Virginia and an LPCC in Minnesota and has about 10 years of experience in mental health settings.
Janna has worked in school-based programs, independent practice, and online settings, supporting teens and young adults as well as people with a range of concerns. Typical issues she sees include anxiety, depression, grief, attachment wounds, relationship problems, sleep difficulties, and substance use challenges.

Online support
Attachment work and practical skills online
Janna uses attachment-informed ideas to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. This approach looks at connection, trust, and how relationship expectations show up in daily life, which can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment feelings or attachment issues.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values to guide action. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes by focusing on meaningful steps instead of just symptom relief.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Janna will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adjust techniques as needed. The aim is to build practical skills and a clearer sense of what matters to the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
