About Janice
Janice Loboda is a California Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family strains, parenting challenges, addiction recovery, grief, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and questions about life purpose.
She began her career in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. There she worked with people who had addiction problems and with teenagers and family members affected by substance use. That early work shaped how she approaches challenges tied to recovery and family dynamics.
Janice later moved into private practice focused on parenting and family stress. She has supported parents who need help communicating with schools and seeking 504 or IEP accommodations for their children. She also spent time as an employee assistance program counselor, helping professionals handle workplace stress, burnout, and career transitions.
Her sessions are practical and focused on everyday problems. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people build skills, manage emotions, and clarify priorities. Conversations include concrete steps and coping strategies that can be used between sessions.
People who come for help can expect a collaborative process. Janice works with clients to set goals and review progress. She also addresses concerns related to autism spectrum traits, blended family issues, caregiver strain, first responder stress, women's issues, and struggles common to young adults.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in California. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and people feeling stuck about direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and early bonds to help people understand how those patterns affect current relationships and parenting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision may change over time as the client and therapist review progress and adjust focus.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio only when bandwidth or a shorter check-in is preferable. The emphasis is on making sessions practical and compatible with daily routines.
