About Janna
Janna Fennell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She speaks plainly, asks direct questions, and offers practical tools people can use between sessions. Her style is collaborative but honest, and she expects clients to engage in the work needed for change.
Janna draws on about 10 years of counseling experience and a background that includes school-based work with PreK-12 students and families.
Background and approach
She has provided therapy in independent practice and online settings, and she has supported teens and young adults through common challenges like identity concerns and insomnia. Her training and clinical interests emphasize thought-pattern change, emotional understanding, and body-based coping skills. Her sessions often include cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
She also uses acceptance-focused strategies and attachment-informed ideas to help people make sense of relationship patterns and long-standing fears of abandonment. Simple practices such as breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation can be part of treatment when helpful. Janna encourages steady effort and realistic goals.
She frames symptoms as once-useful survival strategies that can be changed when they no longer serve the person. People who want direct feedback, practical homework, and a therapist who will challenge avoidance may find her approach a good match. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling and is licensed in Minnesota and Virginia as an LPC and LPCC.
Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients through online formats.

Online support
Approaches you can use online
Janna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles.She also works from an attachment-based perspective that looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and closeness with others. This approach can be useful for people coping with abandonment worries, codependency, or recurring relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust the plan as progress and setbacks occur.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for short check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to schedule care from different locations and formats depending on daily needs.
