More about Janel

  • LPC, LMHC

Hello, thank you so much for checking out my profile. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado working as a psychotherapist. I have practice therapy in both Chicago and Colorado. I have worked in many settings including crisis, emergency room, home and school based care. I have experience working with individuals from elementary school to adulthood. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and social injustice. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm, friendly, open and collaborative. I believe in creating a therapeutic space that is safe and warm allowing the person to work through emotional concerns and develop skills to help accomplish their goals. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Depending on your needs I will meet you where you are to develop a treatment plan that meets those needs.

Thank you for taking the steps to becoming the leader in your own life. If you are ready we can work together to support and empower you to achieve your goals.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

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.

Janel is an intelligent, perceptive woman who truly understands my struggle, sometimes in ways I didn't realize. It's like she takes all the pieces of a puzzle I've been trying to solve for years and puts it together like its nothing. She actually listens to what you're saying instead of mirroring what you say and responds to my issues with compassion and understanding. I actually feel heard, and thats never happened with the therapists ive had. If you haven't found a good therapist yet, Janet might be the one you've been looking for.

Janel is a great listener and very thorough. I really appreciate that she offers a number of ways to approach something and then gives me something I can put into practice. She’s great at responding in a timely manner with messaging and even takes the time to follow up about past sessions or issues. I also really like that I never feel pressured to make a follow up appointment but Janel makes sure I know she’s available when I need her.

Janel is great! Even when something doesn't make sense to her, she has taken the time to build understanding so that she can offer salient and helpful insights, which have had life-changing positive effects on my relationships and career.

Reviewed January 2022

Janel surpassed my expectations of what would be available through Better Help. Her insightful perspective and kind nature made working with her so valuable. I also appreciated the depths she went into when explaining the differences between the biology of what is happening in my brain versus the psychology of what happens in my mind. She's awesome! Thank you for your work and supportive offerings Janel! I wish I could afford to continue with therapy, but in this season, I only had limited resources for the amount of sessions we booked. It was definitely worth the investment of my time and I am forever grateful of your insight and wisdom.

Janel has really helped me (a counselor as well) to accept and challenge some of my own beliefs around certain diagnoses and is consistently encouraging while also challenging me when necessary.

The first thing Janel did during our first session was make me laugh. Her ability to foster feelings of safety and comfort are incredible and I always feel resolved after a session. With a lot to think about and consider, as she frames things in unexpected and unique ways! Always would recommend Janel Washington

Janel is a beautiful soul. She's kind, and doesn't just listen- she hears what you have to say. I like the action-oriented way she apporches mental health. She has helped me set goals for myself, and is understanding if I just need to vent. Over all, working with Janel has been an overwhelmingly positive and constructive experience for me and I think very highly of her.

Janel cuts right through to the root of the problem, and gives me things to think about that I had not considered. In addition to that she us very down-to-earth and personable. I am so glad that I was matched with her.

I’ve known about EAP with my company for years and I’ve been with my employer for 32 of those years. I picked up the phone and made the call a few years ago but never followed through. This time I’m grateful I made the call and asked for my specific ethnicity. Life changing and life saving! These last 18 months have been extremely trying for every human being. Thank goodness it’s ok to ask for what you need. The help I’ve received from Janel has been so desperately needed and in just the 3 sessions I know … I’m so sure my life is going to change for the very best it can be… I feel I’m on my way and have identified the feelings and so many emotions and my behavior following those feelings and emotions. It’s so relatable… I get it and I’m getting tools that are already helping . By no means is it easy! It’s going to take work but I’m soooo excited! For this I am eternally grateful! Thank you Sweet Jesus for my sister Janel!
