Professional Counseling For Couples and Individuals
Life's challenges are easier with compassionate and supportive care
Therapy available in-person in Plano or virtually across Texas
Hi I’m Janel Smith
My passion is meeting couples at various stages (seriously dating, premarital, or married) and walking with them to heal, forgive, and enjoy their relationship.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Marriage Counselor virtually and locally for residents of Texas. I cultivate a supportive environment for the therapeutic relationship to develop for my client’s goals, insight, emotional health, and healing from past pain.
I received my BA, in Psychology from Old Dominion University, MA, in Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary, and a Master of Divinity from Regent University. I am Level I and II trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, A Gottman Seven Principles Couples Program Leader, Emotionally Focused Therapy Certified, and a Prepare/Enrich Facilitator. I incorporate other approaches to meet the unique needs of every couple.
My goal is for clients to feel safe to express themselves freely without fear of judgment, and in that atmosphere, they can work for the change and healing they desire.

“We thank Janel’s warmth and expertise and our faith in God for helping us to do the work to get to this point.
My wife and I had been married for 12 years when we began seeing Janel Smith as a marriage therapist. We had been going through a rough patch in our marriage for 4 continuous years. We both wanted to save our marriage. My wife and I can honestly say that we are back “in love with each other.” We would wholeheartedly recommend Janel to any couple in need of marriage therapy.”
