About Janell

Janell Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. She completed her degree in clinical counseling at the University of Phoenix and practices in Utah. Janell presents therapy as a partner in change and aims to provide a welcoming space where people can start hard conversations.

Her sessions focus on real problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and self esteem. She uses practical tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Janell emphasizes helping people make day-to-day life more manageable and more enjoyable.

Janell draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing. Her work is trauma informed and oriented toward helping people change behaviors that no longer serve them. She talks through concrete skills and steps rather than only focusing on ideas.

People who prefer a straightforward, skills-based style often find her approach useful. Janell encourages authenticity and small, steady changes that fit into everyday life. She also brings a calm, encouraging presence to sessions.

Outside of therapy she enjoys reading, sewing, and traveling. She often frames progress as finding more moments of joy and ease, and she works with each person to identify what that looks like for them.

Approaches you can expect and how online work fits

Janell frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques that help people notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or low mood. These methods focus on practical steps you can try between sessions to change day-to-day routines and reactions.

She also uses dialectical behavior techniques which teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can be useful for managing intense feelings and improving relationships without getting stuck in overwhelming reactions.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people clarify their goals and find their own reasons to change. This approach is collaborative and helps someone move forward at a pace that feels doable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Janell will help you decide which techniques fit your goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as you make progress. That decision is collaborative and based on what you need in session.

If you want online therapy, confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also offer more flexibility for scheduling around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
