About Janel
Janel Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people untangle patterns that leave them feeling not enough. She aims to make therapy a place where clients can stop pretending and speak honestly about pain, doubt, and fear. Janel emphasizes a warm, steady presence in sessions.
She listens for the roots of self-worth struggles and people-pleasing behaviors. Then she works with each person to build practical steps toward feeling more authentic and grounded.
Background and approach
Her work covers anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to relationships and family life. She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, substance concerns, and the confusion that comes with big life changes. Janel integrates tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR into sessions.
Treatment is tailored so the techniques match what a person needs and what feels tolerable in the moment. With five years as an LCSW in Kentucky, she brings focused experience to common struggles like codependency, attachment wounds, guilt, and isolation. Janel works alongside clients to name goals, try new ways of responding, and make small changes that add up over time.
Sessions can include talk therapy, skills practice, and experiential techniques aimed at reducing distress and increasing clarity. The pace is set by the client so work moves in a manageable, steady way.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions that match those values. It helps when people feel stuck, uncertain about direction, or are struggling with strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. EMDR involves structured, phased work that aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions they trigger; it can be offered in adapted ways during remote sessions when appropriate.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, comfort level, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face when convenient. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, while live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular check-ins over time.
