About Janelle

Janelle Clarke-Evers is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia with eight years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Janelle aims to make the initial step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of the effort it takes. She creates a calm space where people can name what they are feeling and say what they are worrying about.

Sessions are straightforward and centered on the person's goals. Janelle listens closely and reflects back what she hears so people feel understood before planning next steps.

Her work often uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s pace and priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses.

The Gottman Method informs how she approaches relationship dynamics when those come up in sessions. Janelle helps people cope with life changes, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses trauma and abuse, abandonment concerns, blended family issues, and challenges like body image or codependency. Practical skills and real-life strategies are common parts of sessions.

People who prefer clear, calm conversation and step-by-step plans tend to find her approach useful. She works in English and sees clients across Georgia.

Janelle supports those taking early steps toward better coping and clearer thinking.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and offering empathetic listening. Online sessions let a therapist reflect what someone says and help them clarify goals without pushing a set agenda. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Over video or messaging, CBT can include worksheets, behavioral experiments, and short practice tasks to try between sessions. The Gottman Method offers a way to notice interaction patterns and improve communication when relationship issues arise; online meetings can be used to teach new interaction skills and rehearse calmer ways of talking.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to keep sessions relevant and purposeful.

Online formats make scheduling easier for busy lives. Video calls work well for deep conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or a commute-free hour. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, or people who prefer typing. Together these options let people fit therapy into real time constraints while still working on concrete changes.
