About Janna
Janna Fennell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) with ten years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, relationship and family strain, grief, sleep problems, career stress, and depression. She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and other related concerns.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She asks direct questions, offers feedback, and teaches skills to practice between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central tool she uses to help people notice thoughts that fuel unhelpful behavior and replace them with different actions.
Janna describes therapy as sometimes uncomfortable and work-heavy. She encourages consistent attendance and active participation. Progress often requires reflection and doing exercises outside the session, and she helps clients build those habits.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University. She holds LPC licensure in Virginia and LPCC licensure in Minnesota. Her work history includes school-based therapy with PreK–12 students, private practice, and online counseling with teens and young adults, which shaped her practical, skills-focused style.
Sessions often cover skill building for emotion regulation, techniques for sleep and anxiety, and strategies to reduce self-sabotage. Janna aims to be honest and direct while collaborating with clients on goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking actions that align with chosen values. It can help with anger that comes from rigid rules about how things must be. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relational patterns that influence reactions and trust. It can help when anger connects to past attachment wounds or abandonment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That choice is based on current needs, practical goals, and personal preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping contact with a therapist if travel or relocation happens. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule and less disruptive to daily routines, and Janna uses skill-building exercises and homework that translate to remote sessions.
