Janelle Murray, LCSW, CSW

Janelle Murray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with nine years of practice. She holds a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Development. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anger, relationship strain, grief, trauma and other common life pressures.

Her background includes in-home therapy and work with diverse communities. That work strengthened her skills in building rapport quickly, managing crises, and helping people find calmer ways to handle conflict. She has particular experience supporting survivors of abuse, and she has spent time helping women and adolescents in those situations.

In sessions she leans on practical, strengths-based work. She helps people identify resources they already have and use those resources to reduce stress, manage strong feelings, and improve communication. She also uses structured tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior.

She blends narrative and psychodynamic ideas when it helps clients make sense of how past experiences affect current reactions. Solution-focused techniques are used for short-term goals like improving anger responses at work or setting clearer boundaries at home. The aim is steady progress through concrete steps rather than quick fixes.

People meet a therapist who favors clear, direct work. Sessions often include talking through recent situations, practicing new responses, and planning small experiments to test changes between visits. For someone fed up with snapping or simmering resentment, this approach focuses on practical skills and clearer communication.
