About Janice
Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges related to relationships, family life, parenting, and addiction.
Background and approach
She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment strategies, and attachment-based work, to help clients build practical skills, clarify values, and address patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Her clinical background began in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment where she supported teenagers and families in recovery.
That early work expanded into independent practice focused on parenting and family stress, including guidance on coordinating with schools to pursue 504 and IEP accommodations for children. She has also provided workplace support as an EAP counselor, helping adults manage career-related stress, burnout, and the search for professional and personal purpose.
Janice combines problem-focused interventions with client-centered listening to tailor plans that fit each person’s circumstances. She works from California and offers sessions in English, using formats that can fit busy schedules and shifting life demands.
Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Janice often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; CBT is practical and problem-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying personal values and practicing mindful acceptance of difficult emotions to create meaningful action in day-to-day life. Attachment-Based Therapy is another tool she draws on to explore relational patterns and improve emotional connection within families and close relationships.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Janice works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and life context and may blend techniques from CBT, ACT, and attachment work to form a tailored plan that fits what matters most to the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care amid family responsibilities, work demands, or geographic constraints, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic guidance and practical skills training.
