Janelle Green, LICSW

Janelle Green is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Janelle also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and family of origin concerns.

Her approach centers on practical conversations and skills people can try between sessions. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions typically focus on clearer thinking, noticing unhelpful patterns, and choosing small actions that move things forward.

Janelle draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, and client-centered listening. She often mixes mindfulness practices with focused behavioral steps to help with mood and daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools may be used when looking at how emotions shape relationships and choices.

Her style is direct and down-to-earth. She helps people name what they do when they put others first, and then practices different ways of responding. The aim is to increase options, reduce overwhelm, and regain a clearer sense of priorities.

Janelle sees adults in Washington and conducts sessions in English. People who are exploring whether they are overly people-pleasing, living around another person’s crises, or struggling to set boundaries often find this straightforward, skills-focused format helpful.
