About Janelle
Janelle Murray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with nine years of practice. She works with adults who want to handle stress, anger, relationship strain, grief, and other life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, addictions, parenting challenges, and workplace pressure.
She trained with a Master of Social Work from Savannah State University and a Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Development from Georgia Southern University. Early work involved in-home therapy, which shaped her ability to build rapport quickly and work in real-life settings. That experience includes crisis stabilization and practical stress management.
Her approach centers on finding and using strengths that already exist in a person’s life. Sessions often focus on clear problem-solving, communication skills, and changing patterns that keep anger or resentment alive. She uses methods from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to make small, concrete shifts in thinking and behavior.
Narrative and psychodynamic ideas inform how past events and stories shape present reactions. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and track progress between sessions. This mix aims to help people notice what works and build skills that reduce outbursts and simmering frustration.
Janelle has specific experience with survivors of abuse and with helping parents and caregivers manage stress. She frames work around practical steps, steady skill practice, and strengthening relationships over time. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and an initial session help clarify goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Janelle draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means the session follows the person’s lead and focuses on what matters to them. This approach helps clarify goals and priorities when anger shows up in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online sessions often use simple exercises to spot patterns and try new responses for stress and anger.She also uses narrative ideas to examine how past events shape current reactions and solution-focused moves to set short-term steps. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjusts as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will be run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports working on communication skills, stress reduction exercises, and real-time problem solving from wherever you join. Licensed professionals tailor sessions to the issues you bring and help track practical steps between meetings.
