About Janna
Janna Fennell is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPC and LPCC, practicing in Minnesota with ten years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, addictions, sleep problems, and codependency. She speaks English and accepts international clients.
Janna uses direct, practical sessions that ask clients to do real work between meetings. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also brings attachment-focused ideas to conversations about relationships and patterns that repeat across life.
Sessions include skill practice such as grounding, breathwork, and progressive muscle relaxation alongside talk therapy. She likes to give straightforward feedback and to set small, doable goals clients can test out in daily life. Clients who prefer clear structure and practical tools tend to find this approach useful.
Her background includes work in schools, private practice, and online settings with teens and young adults, and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University. Janna has supported people dealing with identity questions, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and substance issues in addition to trauma-related struggles.
She asks clients to be willing to do reflective work and to attend sessions consistently. Early sessions focus on identifying patterns that once protected the client but now cause harm, then on building new skills to respond differently. The work can be gradual and occasionally uncomfortable, but it is focused on concrete change.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Janna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with clients. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to unhelpful feelings and behaviors, then practicing different responses to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and codependency-related habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now, helping people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janna aims to figure out, together with each client, which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She combines structured skill-building with conversations about relationship patterns to create a workable plan that the client helps shape.
