About Janelle
Janelle Murray, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), holds a Georgia LCSW license and has nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. Janelle uses language like strengths building and solution identification to describe how she works.
Janelle earned a Master of Social Work from Savannah State University and a Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Development from Georgia Southern University. She has experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and has worked extensively with women and adolescents who are survivors of abuse. Her earlier work included in-home therapy, which involved crisis management and stabilization.
Her clinical approach emphasizes a strengths-based perspective. She looks for existing resources and resilience in a person’s life and helps build on them. That often means talking through immediate problems while also identifying small, practical steps to reduce stress.
Janelle uses a mix of methods including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions may include skill practice, reframing negative thoughts, and examining personal stories to shift perspective.
She also brings experience in rapport building and communication problem solving. Parents and caregivers may find specific support for caregiver stress, parenting strain, and workplace issues. The emphasis is on clear, doable strategies and steady problem solving.

Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and supporting their own problem solving. It helps when someone needs a space to talk and to identify personal strengths to use in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes by practicing new thinking and behavior patterns.
Narrative Therapy involves looking at the stories people tell about themselves and shifting how those stories shape behavior. It can help with identity concerns, relationship patterns, and recovery after trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches over time.
Confirm the specific session options before booking. Practical benefits of remote care include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shortening travel time, and allowing check-ins that can be easier to schedule during a workday. Remote work can also make it simpler to focus on skill practice and short-term problem solving without requiring extra travel time.
