About Janell
LCSW and LISW-CP in Florida with 4 years of experience, Janell Dickerson focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT issues, and bipolar concerns. She practices Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Janell works from the view that people know their own stories and already have strengths to use in change.
Janell helps people talk through current problems and build practical skills. Sessions include working on thoughts and behaviors with CBT, learning acceptance and values-based actions with ACT, and practicing emotion regulation and coping strategies influenced by DBT. She uses straightforward exercises and conversation rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes four years of professional social work practice and licensure as a clinical social worker and independent social work practitioner with prescriptive authority in Florida and South Carolina as listed. Janell draws on that clinical practice to guide treatment choices and plan measurable steps people can try between sessions.
In sessions she focuses on immediate concerns such as handling intense emotions, reducing anxious thoughts, managing grief, and addressing addictive patterns. She also supports people facing life transitions and questions about identity and purpose. Work together often includes setting short-term goals and tracking small changes.
People can expect a practical, skills-oriented approach that names problems clearly and tries specific steps to address them. Janell offers therapy in English and asks new clients to use the site process to share basic information before scheduling a first session.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to clarify what matters to them and to take small actions that match those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT is often used for anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It is commonly applied to anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce impulsive or self‑destructive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to use based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and the clinician will suggest a mix of skills practice and conversational check-ins to test what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Expect concrete skills, brief experiments between sessions, and planning that aims to fit therapy into everyday life.
