About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Janca is a licensed professional counselor who draws on nearly a decade of clinical experience. She decided early on to become a counselor after benefiting from play therapy herself, and she now focuses on creating a calm, listening space for people who feel overwhelmed.
Elizabeth earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a Master of Science in Counseling and Development from Texas Woman's University.
Background and approach
She has worked with children, teens, and young adults in a range of settings. That includes ABA therapy with young children, play and activity therapy with kids and adolescents, talk therapy with older teens and adults, and group work.
Elizabeth also spent three years in middle school education as an academic counselor and administrator, which shaped her practical approach to school and life challenges. Her style is grounded in client-centered counseling, which means she follows the person's lead and listens without judgment.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change thought patterns that make stress and anxiety harder to handle. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are part of her toolkit for building better emotional regulation and coping strategies. Elizabeth aims to make sessions straightforward and useful.
She helps with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, grief, sleep problems, anger, workplace issues, ADHD, and several other areas. Her background working with neurodiversity, kink-aware topics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and non-monogamous relationships informs how she tailors support. Based in Texas, she provides services in English and welcomes clients from other regions.
Her approach is practical, warm, and focused on helping people take the next small step toward feeling better.
How Elizabeth Uses Client-Centered, CBT, and DBT Online
Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to let people guide the conversation. That approach focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it works well for anxiety, depression, and sleep or stress problems. Dialectical behavior therapy offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when emotions run high.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as therapy progresses so sessions stay practical and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy makes those approaches easier to access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing school, work, caregiving, or irregular schedules and let therapists provide consistent guidance across distances.
