Janette Gunn, LCSW

Janette Gunn is a licensed clinical social worker in Wisconsin with 24 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she brings a background rooted in direct service, beginning her career in a domestic violence shelter where she was moved by the resilience of women and children. That early work shaped a long-standing commitment to trauma-informed care and advocacy for survivors of abuse.

Over the years she has worked extensively with teens in treatment foster care who survived severe trauma and abuse, helping young people build safety, stability, and coping skills. Janette treats each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process in which client goals guide treatment decisions. She tailors conversations and plans to meet each individual’s specific needs, whether addressing PTSD symptoms, anxiety, depression, grief, or challenges with self-esteem.

Janette blends several clinical methods to support healing and skills development. She is a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional for both adults and children, which reflects specialized training in evidence-based approaches to anxiety. Her practice draws on techniques from cognitive and behavioral therapies, dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation, trauma-focused interventions, mind-body integration methods, and strength-based perspectives. She aims to empower clients through practical tools and steady support as they work toward a more fulfilling life.
