About

Janelle Butler began her career as a mental health counselor in the greater Seattle area, where she spent five years providing clinical care before moving her practice to the East Coast while continuing to serve clients in Washington and beyond.

Her work has been concentrated in community mental health, which has given her experience with a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and presenting concerns. Janelle notices that many people become adept at avoiding emotional pain, and she helps clients identify how those feelings accumulate and affect physical and mental well-being over time.

Her therapeutic goal is to isolate negative patterns and beliefs and then either transform them into opportunities for growth or alter how they are perceived. She is clear that some relief may be immediate, but lasting change typically requires sustained time and effort.

Janelle views hope as a central force in moving through grief, loss, and emotional pain. When hope begins to fade and despair sets in, finding a path back to well-being can feel difficult, and she aims to assist clients in identifying and overcoming that turmoil. She offers comfort, support, and clinical experience to help people better understand their struggles and work toward peace of mind.

Janelle has nine years of experience and is licensed to practice in Washington as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (WA LMHC 60882019). She incorporates several evidence-based approaches into her work, including cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational interviewing.
