Her sessions are collaborative and client-centered. She listens for personal strengths and helps people test small changes.

Janis brings experience from higher education and community work. She has served as an LPC mentor and adjunct professor and has mentored graduate counseling students. Her background also includes international service and leadership roles that shaped a multicultural outlook.
Practical problems such as substance-use recovery, chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and communication or commitment concerns are included in her scope of work. She helps people sort through grief, abandonment issues, attachment concerns, and the strain of blended family dynamics.
Outside of counseling, Janis pursues outdoor activities and creative interests that inform her approach.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values. It is often used for motivation problems, anxiety, and living with chronic illness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors through practical exercises. It can help with mood, relationships, and coping after trauma. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape present-day reactions; it is used for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Early sessions include checking how techniques feel in everyday life and adjusting the plan based on what helps.
Confirm the supported session formats before booking since the profile does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working on life purpose, addiction recovery, coping with grief, or communication changes.
