Background and approach
Over decades she has worked in both personal and public settings, helping people with depression, PTSD, codependency, recovery, and separation concerns. Her approach blends emotion-focused work with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. She also uses trauma-focused methods and Internal Family Systems to help people understand inner parts and heal from past injuries.
Sessions typically look at feelings, relationship patterns, and practical steps a person can use between meetings. Janice has a long personal interest in spiritual growth and describes her work as psycho-spiritual counseling. She is a certified yoga teacher and a certified meditation teacher, and she offers guidance on those practices when clients want them.
People who choose Janice often want gentle guidance plus tools they can use daily. She helps clients build stronger self-esteem, manage panic or social anxiety, address process addictions, and recover from trauma. Her style is compassionate and goal-oriented, focusing on small, steady changes that add up.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name strong feelings in relationships and personal life. Online sessions using EFT focus on identifying core emotions and trying new, kinder responses in everyday interactions to reduce conflict and increase closeness. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or panic. In teletherapy these exercises can be practiced together during a call and assigned as short daily activities to build steady habit and relief. Janice will help clients pick or blend approaches based on goals and preferences. Figuring out what fits is a shared process - she listens to a person’s needs, explains options in plain language, and adjusts methods over time as progress is made. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client see facial cues and practice interventions together. Phone sessions can require less bandwidth and suit quick check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief updates, written reflection, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving routines, or other life demands.Questions people ask
