Hello and welcome!
My name is Janelle Potts. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and I completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology at Marywood University in Scranton. Over the past 10 years, I have gained experience working with children, adolescent, adults, couples and families in a variety of settings including outpatient, residential, corrections and medical settings. I am comfortable using a variety of approaches to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships concerns and other issues.
My counseling style is warm, accepting, and compassionate and I work together with my clients to tailor our approach to their personal need. I am down to earth and related, putting my clients at ease. I enjoy emphasizing my clients’ strengths and abilities, inspiring change and growth and providing tools to assist them even after counseling is completed. I rely on strategies from Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, trauma informed, Solution Focused, Client centered, family systems approaches.
Starting a new journey takes courage and it would be a privilege to work together with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She is great at what she does, she’s not judge mental and is a great listener!
I've had a couple sessions with Janelle and have really enjoyed my time so far! I came in with a situation that I thought was so complex that no one would understand. Janelle has done an excellent job with helping to unpack my feelings and give me actionable items to get me back to a place where I feel better. She's a great listener and cares about her clients.
Great at listening, explaining, and giving time to process. Never feels rushed, always feels genuine.
Janelle has been great, not pushy or anything and always respectful of what amount I was to talk or what I do or do not want to talk about. She is too notch and I couldn’t be happier for my first time doing therapy
She’s a literal life saver!!
Janelle is a very good listener and she really helps when she's talking you through bad experiences you may be dealing with at the time.
She's a very good listener and she makes sure she stays in touch with me even if I don't contact her.
I love my therapist, she’s here for me whenever I need and listens better then anyone. I’m so happy I joined this program because of her
I just had my first session and really liked Janelle! She was warm and friendly and I feel she really listened to me. She's been following up with me in the chat too in a way I really appreciate. This is still pretty new but I have nothing but positive things to say so far
