About Janelle
Janelle Butler is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and related struggles. She offers straightforward support for parenting strain, career stress, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can address both day-to-day problems and deeper patterns that keep people stuck.
She draws on nine years of clinical work that began in community mental health in the greater Seattle area.
Background and approach
That experience exposed her to many backgrounds and a broad range of concerns. Janelle now practices out of the East Coast while continuing to serve people in Washington and beyond. Her approach is practical and person-centered.
She helps clients spot negative patterns, then either change the patterns or change how they are viewed. Janelle emphasizes realistic steps that can produce some immediate relief while also building toward longer-term change. Clinical tools she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and the Gottman Method for relationship skills.
She also uses client-centered and emotion-focused ideas to help clients feel understood and heard. Janelle mixes these approaches to match each person’s needs and goals. She offers sessions in English and American Sign Language and is available to work with international clients.
Janelle’s practical style aims to help people move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more steady and able to cope.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Janelle combines relationship-focused skills, acceptance-based work, and attachment-informed listening to address real-life problems. The Gottman Method offers concrete communication and conflict tools that help people manage relationship stress and improve understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they shape a plan that may mix techniques to meet immediate needs and longer-term growth.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and travel while still using evidence-based methods.
