Getting to know Jannette Velez-Nieves

I’m Jannette Velez-Nieves, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with a passion for empowering individuals to overcome life’s challenges. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from South University. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, with a strong emphasis on empowerment, resilience, and practical coping strategies. I specialize in working with military personnel, veterans, professionals, and young adults navigating PTSD, anxiety, career transitions, and relationship challenges in a supportive and goal-focused environment. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, empowering, and solution-focused, helping clients develop self-awareness, resilience, and practical coping strategies. I believe in creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to take control of their mental health. By combining structured techniques with a personalized, client-centered approach, I help individuals navigate challenges such as PTSD, anxiety, career transitions, and relationship dynamics with confidence and clarity. I primarily work with military personnel, veterans, professionals, and young adults facing high-stress environments, life adjustments, and trauma recovery. As a U.S. Air Force veteran and bilingual therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals through these experiences. My goal is to provide a safe, empowering space where clients can build resilience, gain clarity, and develop effective coping strategies tailored to their unique needs. My communication style is warm, direct, and empowering, creating a space where clients feel both supported and challenged to grow.
