About Janelle Murray

Janelle Murray, LCSW, brings a strengths-based approach to clinical social work informed by formal training and years of hands-on practice. She holds a Masters of Social Work from Savannah State University and a Bachelor of Science in Child and Family Development from Georgia Southern University. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - and a CSW, she is trained to provide clinical assessment and therapeutic services and to support individuals and families through change and healing.

Since beginning her practice in 2014, she has worked with diverse populations and cultures, with focused experience supporting women and adolescents who are survivors of abuse. Much of her background comes from in-home therapy, where she developed skills in rapport building, crisis management and stabilization, stress management, and strengths building. That experience also includes addressing interpersonal and intrapersonal conflict within family systems.

Her work centers on helping clients recognize and use the resources they already possess. Using a strengths-based perspective, she helps people identify practical solutions, strengthen relationships, and pursue goals related to stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, parenting, intimacy, career concerns, and other life transitions. Her style blends practical strategies with empathetic support to help each person move toward clearer coping and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Janelle Murray draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and narrative therapy to tailor online work to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work; it is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and addressing life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Narrative therapy invites clients to explore and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can be especially helpful for trauma, identity concerns, and shifting patterns that limit choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques from several approaches so therapy stays responsive and goal oriented.

Online therapy with Janelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options for those balancing work, family, or caregiving responsibilities. These formats can make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, helping therapy fit into everyday life without sacrificing continuity of care.
