Janna Fennell

Saint Paul, Minnesota - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

If you're feeling stuck, finding yourself repeating the same patterns, or you've been in therapy before but aren't quite sure how to apply what you've learned in everyday life, you're not alone. I offer direct, compassionate therapy that helps turn insight into meaningful, real-world change. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, perfectionism, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences, therapy can help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I work best with people who are motivated for change and ready to move beyond awareness alone. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and develop practical tools you can use outside of sessions to create lasting change. I especially enjoy working with high achievers, perfectionists, and individuals who are ready to translate insight into action. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota, Virginia, and New York with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults from diverse backgrounds. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Dartmouth College and my Master of Arts in Counseling from Bethel University. My training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), and Experiential Play Therapy. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space while remaining honest, direct, and solution-focused. I use a holistic, integrative approach that blends evidence-based therapies with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to support the whole person. One of my primary modalities is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach that helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. The goal is not simply to feel better during therapy sessions, but to build the skills and confidence needed to continue supporting yourself long after therapy has ended. My style tends to be more direct and solution-oriented than that of some therapists. I ask thought-provoking questions, provide honest feedback, challenge unhelpful patterns, and encourage you to actively engage in the therapeutic process. Therapy works best when we work together, and I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with action. Clients often seek my support for: • Anxiety and stress management • Depression and mood concerns • Childhood trauma and adverse experiences • Life transitions and adjustment difficulties • Low self-esteem and self-worth concerns • Codependency and people-pleasing patterns • Attachment and relationship challenges • Anger management • Grief and loss • Sleep difficulties Treatment is always tailored to your unique goals, values, and circumstances—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Please note that I do not treat ADHD, eating disorders, or personality disorders. If you're motivated for change, willing to do the work, and looking for a therapist who will both support and challenge you, we may be a good fit!

Lynn Craig

Saint Paul, Minnesota - Clinical Social Worker/therapist
Online

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and their families in a wide range of settings. I have worked in healthcare, schools, residential settings, and mental health clinics. You could say I have "been there and done that". It has been my honor to partner with many people over the years to help them make positive changes in their lives. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all individuals and that we all have times in our lives when we need to join with others to make course corrections, learn new skills, and work toward a better quality of life. I tailor my integrative therapy based on the unique strengths and needs of each client. I do have a strong foundation in humanistic and client centered theory, meaning I believe that the client guides the direction of therapy and that you are the expert in you. I come from a strengths based perspective and I believe in building upon the positives to learn new skills, strategies and increase insight. I use techniques from a wide variety of therapies including cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic, and person centered with the ultimate goal of finding what works for each individual. I believe that it is important to work together toward the self identified goals and to see progress as soon as possible, because that is what keeps people engaged in the process. I respect that it is a commitment, of both time and resources, and it is important to see results. I look forward to talking with you and learning how we might be able to partner together to improve your quality of life.
