I’m married 18 years, a mother to a 15 year old son and I've empathic, energetic and loves helping clients. Are you looking to reduce stress, feel calm, and enjoy your life again? Are you struggling with work, family, school, friendships, or self-esteem? I've worked with clients from all walks of life and assist clients develop emotional awareness, depression and anxiety management by teaching them alternative coping skills, communication and problem-solving skills so they can began to feel more in control of their emotions, feelings and behavior. I approach therapy by listening to to understand my client's needs, wants & their concerns we then work to find solutions. I meet the client where they are, work at their pace to allow time to process feelings & gain insight into their lives & relationships. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & tools from IFS, EMDR, DBT & MI to help teach clients skills to alleviate stress, manage emotions, improve self confidence and find ways to feel stable. I provide homework to those who desire tools to work on between visits and help clients learn to understand, reframe negative self-talk, reduce excessive worry and improve your mood. Clients seek me out for support to cope w anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma, stress & conflict management. Contact me if you need support because you're feeling overwhelmed & unsure how to cope or where to start on the journey to healing. Higher levels of stress & unhappiness can be temporary, with understanding & change. I'll provide a safe space & time specifically for you to share, explore & gain insight based on your goals. My approach to building a therapeutic, mutually respectful relationship involves empathy, compassion, humor, and normalize client feelings. I work to help clients know they are not alone and to tap into skills and strengths they've used in the past to manage life's challenges. I grew up in a rural community in Southeast Georgia. I felt awkward and sometimes alone because of social anxiety. After going away to college, all of those insecurities followed me, right into my first professional career opportunity. After I started therapy, I realized, that was the BEST DECISION I EVER MADE FOR MYSELF! If I could have told my younger self, its okay to feel different just keeping loving love yourself. Therapy was not what I expected; I found helped, support, unconditional understanding and was able build my confidence and develop tools to cope with life's challenges. I became a therapist to help others understand themselves and develop skills and tools to cope, find insight and self acceptance and know they are not alone. I work with clients to identify goals based on their treatment needs and personal goals. I take a collaborative approach and develop goals which are realistic and helps develop skills to reach goals. Lastly, my approach is to encourage individuals to develop small, consistent changes in thinking, feeling, and behaving to help recognize their progress and gain hope that change is possible. During the first session, we will meet for 60 minutes. Clients are allowed time to share openly and release the pressures of keeping things bottled up inside. I'll ask specific questions to help me gain insight about their treatment needs. The first visit is to work on building rapport and information gathering so that I know how I can best help meet your needs to develop goals.

I became a therapist to help others realize that we are all resilient beings capable of functioning better while working alongside life’s challenges.

I have been practicing therapy since 2019 and hold an LPC. I typically work with couples who are facing communication challenges and broken trust along with helping them reconnect.

My primary goal is to help my clients to uncover their innate ability to adapt and thrive despite any challenges they may face. Common issues that I help with include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, anger management, relationship stressors, behavior issues, trauma and abuse, stress management, relational codependency, suicidal thoughts, and grief. I utilize a holisticsystems approach to counseling in order to understand the impact that a client’s mental, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being may have on the issues that they are facing.

With online counseling (within the state of Georgia) and 247 scheduling, you are just one mouse clickphone call away, so…let’s heal together!
I am a licensed clinical social worker based out of Georgia. As a clinician, I help individuals manage anxiety, depression, and burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body, and spirit.
My name is Janie Thompson, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Dalton, Georgia working statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and adults with an array of issues such as but not limited to anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with an eclectic approach to other modalities. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is my primary approach allowing me to identify strengths in every person and build on their experiences with new skills and techniques to overcome obstacles. I provide support and education for individuals with empathy and kindness in a relaxed atmosphere.
Hey there! If you've been told you're “too sensitive,” or feel like your emotions have the aux cord and refuse to give it back, then know you’re not alone and you're in the right place! Maybe you handle stress by rage-texting the group chat or expertly pretending problems don’t exist (1010 method, truly). If this sounds familiar, hi, you’re not alone. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with me is real talk, practical skills, and a little humor. We’ll untangle the chaos together so you can feel more like yourself without pretending life isn’t messy sometimes. My clients have called me “affirming, playful, authentic, and a little playful.” Basically a hype person but with a game plan. I’m big on compassion and practicality, so you’ll get validation and actual skills. Think: acceptance plus change equals building a life you actually want to show up for. If you've done therapy before and finished it still missing a piece, then I'd be more than happy to help you find it. I believe that life can be joyful even after experiencing challenges. It's all about finding the balance between accepting (not approving) things we can't change, while skillfully doing something about the things that we can.
Counseling can be an effective way to alleviate distress, discover better ways to solve problems, learn new ways of relating to others, or change long-term behavior problems. However, counseling may also involve the risk of remembering unpleasant events and may arouse other emotions, which may affect how you relate to others. I recognize that personal change is often a difficult process. I strive to provide a supportive, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can fully explore your concerns, challenges, and values. The counseling relationship allows you to seek perspective through a mutual, accepting, empathetic, and authentic relationship. With nearly 20 years of experience in the field, my therapeutic orientation involves Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, specifically Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), which is committed to promoting emotional well-being through short-term therapy with long-term results. I also utilize a variety of techniques in counseling, including Reality Therapy, which focuses on problem-solving, rebuilding connections, and goal-setting. I also utilize other methods such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Expressive Arts, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCT).
