About Janell
Janell Dickerson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, bipolar concerns, and helping people cope with life changes. Janell works in plain language and centers practical steps over jargon.
Janell treats worries about loss and major transitions in straightforward ways. She helps people name what feels most urgent, try small changes, and notice what works. Sessions focus on everyday problems like sleep disruption, overwhelmed thinking, and difficulty managing emotions.
Her clinical approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She uses those methods to teach skills for reducing avoidance, changing unhelpful thinking, and tolerating strong feelings. The methods are used to address behaviors and to build coping skills.
Janell often supports people facing identity-related stress, including LGBT concerns, and practical losses such as bereavement or health challenges. She also has experience with issues like isolation, communication problems, and life-purpose questions. Work may include short skill-focused exercises and planning small, manageable steps between sessions.
She holds the credential LCSW and also lists LISW-CP for South Carolina. Sessions are conducted in English. People interested in beginning the process are asked to use the platform’s matching and scheduling flow to set a first meeting.
BHow sessions work
How ACT, CBT and DBT inform online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take action in those directions even when feelings are difficult. It can help with grief, anxiety, and life-change decisions by emphasizing values and small committed steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety and depression and includes exercises that can be practiced between appointments to reduce symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. Skills training for distress tolerance and emotion regulation can be useful for people facing mood instability or overwhelming stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a skill-based strategy first, then adjusting based on how it fits day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about formats and scheduling when completing the platform questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to match everyday life.
