About Janell

Janell Brown is an LPC with 21 years of clinical experience based in Louisiana, guiding people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges as well as trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She creates a supportive atmosphere where clients are invited to explore difficult thoughts and emotions without judgment, helping them name patterns and consider new ways of responding. Janell combines several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs, including Internal Family Systems alongside cognitive and acceptance-based strategies.

Her style emphasizes collaboration and respectful curiosity, encouraging clients to take small, manageable steps toward change. Beyond core concerns she commonly addresses, Janell also works with issues such as attachment wounds, caregiver stress, communication struggles, body image, and feelings of isolation.

She welcomes those ready to begin the work of understanding themselves more clearly and building practical skills for day-to-day life.

Integrating IFS and Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Internal Family Systems invites clients to explore the different parts of their inner experience with curiosity, helping people notice protective or wounded parts and learn to relate to them with compassion rather than judgement. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-guided action and learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of connecting and regulating emotions.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process, and the therapist will work with each person to determine what combination of methods fits their needs, preferences, and goals. Together they will try strategies, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with technology. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or other responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to support progress through regular, accessible contact.
