Hello and welcome!
My name is Janelle Potts. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and I completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at Marywood University in Scranton. Over the past 10 years, I have gained experience working with children, adolescent, adults, couples and families in a variety of settings including outpatient, residential, corrections and medical settings. I am comfortable using a variety of approaches to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships concerns and other issues.
My counseling style is warm, accepting, and compassionate and I work together with my clients to tailor our approach to their personal need. I am down to earth and related, putting my clients at ease. I enjoy emphasizing my clients’ strengths and abilities, inspiring change and growth and providing tools to assist them even after counseling is completed. I rely on strategies from Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, trauma informed, Solution Focused, Client centered, family systems approaches.
Starting a new journey takes courage and it would be a privilege to work together with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She is great at what she does, she’s not judge mental and is a great listener!
I've had a couple sessions with Janelle and have really enjoyed my time so far! I came in with a situation that I thought was so complex that no one would understand. Janelle has done an excellent job with helping to unpack my feelings and give me actionable items to get me back to a place where I feel better. She's a great listener and cares about her clients.
Great at listening, explaining, and giving time to process. Never feels rushed, always feels genuine.
Janelle has been great, not pushy or anything and always respectful of what amount I was to talk or what I do or do not want to talk about. She is too notch and I couldn’t be happier for my first time doing therapy
She’s a literal life saver!!
Janelle is a very good listener and she really helps when she's talking you through bad experiences you may be dealing with at the time.
She's a very good listener and she makes sure she stays in touch with me even if I don't contact her.
I love my therapist, she’s here for me whenever I need and listens better then anyone. I’m so happy I joined this program because of her
I just had my first session and really liked Janelle! She was warm and friendly and I feel she really listened to me. She's been following up with me in the chat too in a way I really appreciate. This is still pretty new but I have nothing but positive things to say so far
