Janelle Murray, LCSW, CSW

Janelle Murray is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, parenting challenges, workplace strain, and related issues listed in her specialties. Sessions are conducted in English.

Janelle earned a Master of Social Work from Savannah State University and a Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Development from Georgia Southern University. She has worked with diverse populations and cultures and has specific experience supporting women and adolescents who are survivors of abuse. Her background includes years as an in-home therapist where she focused on building rapport, crisis management and stabilization, and addressing both interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict.

In practical terms she uses strengths already present in a person’s life as starting points. That Strengths Based Perspective means identifying what is working and expanding on it to reach goals. She also draws on methods such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative approaches, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused steps when those fit the situation.

Room time often looks like talking through current problems, mapping patterns that keep a difficulty going, and trying small changes to see if they help. She helps people develop coping skills for stress, set boundaries, manage grief, and address relationship or parenting concerns.

Her style is straightforward and practical. People looking for a clinician who connects therapeutic work to everyday responsibilities - work, family, money, and health - may find this approach helpful.
