Getting to know Janelle Kellerman

I’m Janelle Kellerman, LCSW, CADC, and I believe therapy is a collaborative journey—one that helps you explore your inner world, build self-awareness, and find new ways to heal and grow. My background includes over eight years in the behavioral health and corrections field, where I’ve supported clients through significant transitions, trauma, and emotional challenges. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and life stressors, and I integrate CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused approaches into my sessions. I have worked with many cultural backgrounds and love learning about new people and new cultures.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, genuine, and down-to-earth. I love to incorporate creativity into therapy through mindfulness, journaling, and even art or music when it feels right. I also love humor, and think laughter really is the best medicine! My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, learn new coping tools, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life—one step, one insight, and one session at a time.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session with me feels more like a relaxed conversation than a formal appointment. We’ll start by checking in about your week—the good, the bad, and everything in between. Sometimes we laugh (therapy can absolutely have laughter), sometimes we sit in the heavy stuff, and sometimes we find unexpected “aha” moments in the middle of both. I might bring in tools like journaling, mindfulness, or creative exercises if they fit what you need that day, but nothing is ever forced. I use approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy, but mostly, I meet you where you are—with honesty, empathy, and a little humor to keep things human. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, lighter, and a little more equipped to face whatever life throws your way.
