About Janelle
Janelle Murray, LCSW, CSW offers practical, down-to-earth support for parents feeling overwhelmed or unsure. She focuses on helping people manage stress, handle parenting challenges, and rebuild confidence in daily family life. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making therapy feel useful from the first session.
With nine years of experience, she brings background in child and family development and a Master of Social Work from Savannah State University.
Background and approach
She has spent time as an in-home therapist, which shaped her skills in building rapport and helping people settle into services. That work also included crisis management, stabilization, and hands-on stress reduction techniques. Her approach centers on finding and using the strengths already present in a family or home.
She encourages clients to notice what is working and to build on those successes. Conversations often focus on small, practical changes that reduce tension and improve communication. Janelle uses a mix of methods depending on the need, drawing on client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative work, psychodynamic insight, and solution-focused steps.
Sessions combine listening, reflection, and concrete tools for handling behavior and emotions. Parents can expect a collaborative process that honors their goals and everyday routines. She practices in Georgia and conducts sessions in English.
Her background includes work with survivors of abuse and with diverse cultural groups, and she pays attention to safety, coping, and building resilience at home.

Approaches that fit parenting challenges online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps parents feel heard and clarifies what matters most in their family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful reactions.Narrative Therapy invites people to tell the stories that shape their family roles and behavior. Reframing those stories can open up new ways to cope and relate. These approaches are useful for common parenting issues like stress, communication problems, grief, and rebuilding connection after conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each parent to match methods to goals and day-to-day realities. Sessions often blend listening, practical skill-building, and short-term problem solving based on what a parent needs at the time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper discussion is needed, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, follow-up ideas, or when writing through thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to maintain consistency and bring therapy into real-life routines.
