Janet Thacker

Life can feel heavy, confusing, and isolating - and you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m Janet Thacker, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee, and I’m here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, be heard, and begin uncovering clarity. I support adults of all ages with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, panic, grief, shame, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more in tune with what you’re experiencing so you can move toward greater peace and authenticity.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - As tools we use together to help you understand what’s behind your patterns and why certain thoughts and emotions feel so sticky. This means you’ll learn practical coping skills, develop new ways of responding to stress or relationship strain, and build emotional resilience that shows up in your daily life. I’m with you in creating change that feels grounded, meaningful, and sustainable.

Your first session is about connection and clarity. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore what’s most pressing, and begin to create a direction that feels right for you. I aim for sessions to feel supportive and safe - a space where you can share honestly, ask questions, and start to feel a shift toward hope and possibility. There’s no need to have all the answers; you only need to show up as you are.
