About Janell
Janell Dickerson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) with four years of professional experience, practicing in Florida. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT concerns, and bipolar issues. Janell also lists life purpose among her focus areas and helps people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of responding. In sessions she listens to each person's story and looks for strengths to build on. She describes the client as the expert of their own life and treats therapy as a collaborative process.
Janell often helps people manage overwhelming feelings and practical problems at the same time. This can mean learning skills for anxiety and mood, working through grief and loss, or sorting priorities after a major life change. She also addresses issues such as isolation, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness that can come with transitions.
Her background includes clinical work across multiple states and a focus on concrete tools alongside personal reflection. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, skill-building, and goal-focused steps. The combination aims to help people move through immediate struggles while clarifying what matters next.
If you are wondering about life purpose or how to handle a change, Janell helps people talk through where they are and what small steps could follow.
How her ACT, CBT, and DBT skills translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that fit what matters. It can help people who feel stuck decide small, meaningful steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janell will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means trying tools, assessing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Details about session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit a meeting into a work break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when life is busy. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques to remote sessions to focus on skill practice, homework, and problem solving while keeping therapy compatible with everyday schedules.
