Everything below is either quoted from Janell's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Janell works with
Janell lists 5 specialisms and 9 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Janell chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Janell's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hello, My name is Janell Jones, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I am excited to begin this journey with you. It is a big decision to enter therapy, and I am happy you have chosen me to help you.
I completed my education with the University of Phoenix where I received my degree in clinical counseling.
I like to use a variety of therapy modalities to benefit your therapy process including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), and Motivational Interviewing. My approach is trauma informed.
I like clients to feel safe and welcome in session. My hope is to create space for you to dig deep and find the things that you need to work on the most. Becoming the most authentic version of yourself is key to happiness.
I became a therapist to help others learn how to change maladaptive behaviors so their lives can be more manageable and enjoyable. I enjoy helping clients become the most authentic version of themselves so they can enjoy the life they are living.
I enjoy reading, sewing and traveling. I find joy in the little things in life, and I hope to help you find joy and happiness too.

03 · What happens next
Janell practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Janell's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Janell at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Janell is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Janell.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Janell actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Janell's - Janell has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Janell's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
