About Janice
Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She supports parents facing parenting and family stress, and people coping with addiction, trauma, grief, anger, and workplace strain. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at everyday problems and goals.
She began her career working in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse settings. That work included supporting teenagers and families in recovery.
Background and approach
Over time she moved into independent practice where much of her focus became helping parents navigate school systems and advocate for 504 and IEP accommodations. Janice also spent time as an employee assistance program counselor. In that role she worked with adult professionals facing career stress, burnout, and decisions about purpose and next steps.
She combines that organizational experience with clinical skills to help people find realistic changes they can make at work and home. Her methods include cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered conversation. She uses dialectical behavior and attachment-based perspectives when helpful.
Sessions focus on concrete steps, skill building, and clearer thinking about goals. With 15 years of experience in California, she aims to make therapy understandable and useful. Conversations are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs.
The goal is steady progress toward the life changes a person wants.
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and helps people change how they relate to others and manage emotional triggers. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She draws on different approaches rather than using one fixed method, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick exchanges, ongoing support between sessions, and people who prefer writing over speaking. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep regular work toward change.Questions people ask
