While pursuing her undergraduate degrees, Jannaci worked as a Teller and Personal Banker in the banking industry. The skills she took from banking to therapeutic settings are communication, empathy, and problem-solving, among others.
While pursuing her graduate degree, she completed an internship at Richmond Behavioral Health Authority, a Community Services Board setting in Virginia. She interned with an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team, which included case managers, a substance abuse specialist, a clinician, a peer specialist, a nurse, and a psychiatrist. While there, she helped individuals identify goals aimed at recovery and success in the community. Jannaci mostly used cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing while working with these individuals.
Jannaci has also worked with individuals who have lived foster care experiences in a program that provides funding for post-secondary educational-related expenses. Many of these individuals had obstacles that prevented them from obtaining higher education. Some obstacles included obtaining housing, food, and transportation. The skill she took from that role was being able to connect others to different resources to fit their needs, which she incorporates into her therapeutic style.
When not working, Jannaci enjoys spending time with family, cooking, and trying new activities and foods.
