Janna Fennell

Janna Fennell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPC, LPCC) based in Minnesota. She works with people who are ready to change patterns that hold them back. She is direct but compassionate and asks practical questions so clients can build skills between sessions.

Janna encourages honest self-reflection and steady effort. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, addiction concerns, career pressures, and relationship or family difficulties. She also addresses attachment wounds, body image, codependency, and communication or control issues.

Her style blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas. Sessions include concrete tools such as thought work, breathing exercises, and progressive muscle relaxation. Clients can expect feedback, skill-building, and homework aimed at real-life changes.

Janna trained at Bethel University, holding a Master of Arts in Counseling, and completed undergraduate work at Dartmouth College. She has about 10 years of experience and has worked in school settings, private practice, and online care with teens and young adults.

She invites people who are ready to face harder moments and do the work needed to change. The process can be challenging at times, but she offers steady guidance and practical steps to help clients move toward the life they want.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It often uses mindfulness and practical exercises to change how clients relate to difficult internal experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world behavior. It uses structured exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework to build new habits that reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and relationship choices, and it can help people notice and change repeating cycles that cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Clients often try a mix of strategies and adjust them as progress is made.

Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let clients use tools and exercises in the moment in their daily routines, which helps transfer skills from sessions into life.
