About Terry
Terry Janelle is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 18 years of experience as a counselor, life coach, and consultant. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or navigating major life changes. She also works with clients facing relationship and parenting strains, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and career concerns.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions tend to be respectful and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on listening first and adjusting the conversation to each person's needs. She avoids labels that feel limiting and looks for practical steps people can use between meetings.
Terry mixes several counseling methods rather than following a single model. She draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation person-focused and collaborative. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also integrates dialectical behavior skills and trauma-focused ideas when emotion regulation or past harm are central to the work. Solution-focused tools help when someone wants clear, short-term goals and doable strategies to move forward.
Many people seek her help for grief, self-esteem, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and life-purpose questions. She will tailor a plan that reflects what matters most to the individual and their day-to-day life.
If someone is ready to begin, Terry supports a step-by-step approach that balances practical coaching with deeper emotional work. The aim is steady progress that fits into a person’s real schedule and responsibilities.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit with online work
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own goals and experiences. It’s about listening, reflecting what matters to you, and shaping sessions around your priorities. This helps people who need a safe space to think through problems and make decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. It often includes practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low mood. CBT can be useful when someone wants concrete tools to use between meetings.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers short, teachable strategies for distress tolerance and emotion regulation that many people find useful day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terry will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as the work progresses, and she tailors techniques to fit the person rather than forcing a single model.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a quick conversation will help. It also allows focusing on skill practice, homework review, and step-by-step problem solving in ways that align with daily routines.
