To put it shortly, she has been amazing!! I wish I started sooner and got help sooner, I've changed so much for the better since starting counseling. Its all thanks to Mrs. Butler, she has helped me through a lot and I look forward to continuing this jounery with her!! She listens when I need her to and helps me to get through things on my own opposed to just fixing it for me and helping me to gain the skills I need to set boundaries and stick with them. Thank you, so much.

Hello!
My name is Janelle and began my career working as a mental health counselor in the greater Seattle area for 5 years and am now practicing out of the East Coast but still serving the Washington area and beyond. I have mainly worked in community mental health , which means I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and presenting issues. I have found many people have become quite adept at avoiding emotional pain. These feelings can swirl around inside us and can deteriorate our physical and mental state over time. My goal is to help you isolate these negative patterns and beliefs, and then either change them into positive growth experiences, or alter the way they’re perceived. While this may result in immediate relief, lasting relief takes both time and effort.
I have also found that hope is one of the most crucial driving factor that can get us through grief, loss and emotional pain. But when you begin to lose hope, and despair sets in, it can be difficult to find your way back to happiness. I look forward to helping you identify and overcome your emotional turmoil. I’ll provide the comfort, support and experience you need to assist you in better understanding your struggles and find peace of mind.
I have found success through several therapeutic approaches some including; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Janelle is an incredibly good therapist! I am extremely grateful to be working with her and am very lucky. She is very competent and able to work with difficult topics. I am very thankful for her!
Janelle Butler listens without judgement. Her manner of speak is gentle and encouraging, while maintaining an honest demeanor, even if the subjects being discussed are difficult. I find myself coming to my own conclusions after speaking with her because she helps me organize my thoughts and feelings in a logical and caring way. Tbh I left her service for a few months because I thought I had it on my own, but now I’m back because she really does center me in uncertain times. I very much appreciate her wisdom and feedback.
Amazing counselor. She saved my life saving me from severe trauma induced psychosis caused by abusive family, therapists, and friends. I am now doing so much better and healing so much more. Thank you Janelle.
Janelle is amazing! I am so grateful to have met her. She has been a huge support to me and I look forward to our sessions every week. We have been working on various issues within my relationship. I am really grateful to be able to work with her and really enjoy our conversations. Thank you Janelle!
Janelle is kind, respectful, and helps me to understand my own needs.
I was hesitant to try out online counseling, but I have found this to be a rewarding experience. Janelle jumped right into the emotional rollercoaster, buckled up, and virtually held my hand while I cried. In a short amount of time she has become a pivotal part of my weekly routine, which leaves me recharged to tackle the rest of my life. Thank you!
Very knowledgeable, competent and kind counselor. Thank you Janelle!
