As a trauma-informed and trauma-focused therapist, I have dedicated my academic and professional career to understanding how life experiences shape both our conscious and unconscious processes. Through my doctoral training, I expanded my research on trauma-focused treatment in virtual care settings, while also deepening my understanding of the biological and psychological foundations of trauma. This integrative approach supports a comprehensive mind-body perspective in psychotherapy, allowing for more holistic and effective healing.

Hello, I am Lanelle. Are you ready to embrace your healing journey and find meaning in the story of your life? Have you experienced trauma in your life and grasping for hope to fully overcome it? If so, I am ready to assist you! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and have been practicing for 15 years. I specialize in treating trauma (sexual, emotional, relational, betrayal, birth & body), complex grief, inner child wounds, mother and father wounds, attachment issues, sex-related issues, women's issues, and perinatal/postpartum care. I enjoy helping women learn to tell their stories no matter how traumatic or painful they may be while also helping them to fully embrace who they are and who they're meant to be as women. You were made to be someone special and walk in the fullness of the light within you and I want to help you tap into that light and gain freedom! You are more than your trauma and your story does not define you! If you have experienced any kind of trauma, abandonment, betrayal, divorce, or abuse, or if you are a pregnant woman needing support in your birthing journey, I want to help you. Sharing your story and seeking help is a huge undertaking, but I want to walk alongside you and help you be your healed self with the help of Christ. So if you are ready, let's get started on your healing journey!

Is anxiety or depression keeping you from living the life you want? Are you struggling in your relationships? Would you like to communicate more effectively? Do you isolate or avoid situations because of low self-esteem or lack of self-confidence? Is a self-sabotaging behavior interfering with your well-being or relationships? You and I can work together to bring about change: you can overcome anxiety and depression. You can break out of the cycle of self-sabotaging or addictive behaviors. Life can be better and relationships more fulfilling. With support and guidance, you can build the life you want. I have extensive experience in the fields of mental health and addictions, working with individuals seeking change and the loved ones who want to support them.

If you’ve spent your life holding the line — for your family, your community, your country — you know what it means to keep showing up even when it costs you. Whether you wear a uniform, lead from behind the scenes, or simply hold things together for everyone else, the weight you carry is real. We live in a world that feels divided. Every headline, every conversation, can become a reminder of how far apart people seem. For many trauma survivors — and especially for first responders, police officers, firefighters, and paramedics — this division can deepen old wounds. The noise, the criticism, the lack of understanding from those who’ve never walked in your shoes can leave you feeling unseen and disconnected. Therapy shouldn’t be another place where you feel judged or misunderstood. My work is grounded in respect — for who you are, what you believe, and what you’ve endured. I work with people from all political backgrounds and walks of life who’ve faced trauma, burnout, and the invisible injuries that come from witnessing too much for too long. Through gentle, evidence-based approaches like Brainspotting, we create space for your body and mind to release what’s been stored — without forcing words or reliving trauma. You don’t have to choose a side to heal. You don’t have to explain why you’re tired, angry, or numb. You just have to show up as you are. Healing is not weakness. It’s strength. It’s the courage to reclaim your peace, even in a world that keeps asking you to stay in survival mode. You’ve served others long enough. Now, it’s time to come home to yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Ohio rather than a city like Columbus?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Ohio from Cincinnati to Cleveland! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Ohio.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
