About Janelle

Janelle Alexander is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience practicing in California and Florida.

Background and approach

She draws on a broad clinical background to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addictions, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. Her work emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a strengths-based perspective that acknowledges each person’s capacity for growth.

Alexander uses an eclectic, client-centered stance that blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness techniques, and the Gottman Method when relationship work is involved. She aims to tailor interventions to the needs and goals presented in sessions while fostering empowerment and motivation.

Prospective clients will find a compassionate clinician who values dignity and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process. Beginning therapy can feel challenging, and she encourages those ready to take that step.

Janelle’s practice offers a mix of conversational support and structured skills work, adjusted to what each person brings to the work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Janelle brings together client-centered care with targeted skills work to help clients address immediate concerns and build long-term coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes collaboration, active listening, and supporting a client's own goals so sessions feel individualized and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress, offering practical exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful when intense emotions or relationship challenges are present.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; Janelle will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then recommend or combine methods that best fit the situation. This collaborative exploration helps ensure therapy remains responsive as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue care from different locations while working with a licensed professional. The variety of formats also allows for a blend of conversational support and structured skills practice that aligns with the chosen therapeutic approach.
