About Janice

Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship and parenting strain, and struggles with addiction and grief. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to practical, goal-focused work. Janice emphasizes clear next steps and steady progress rather than complex jargon.

She began her career in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment, supporting teens and adults through recovery. That early work shaped her approach to addiction and to supporting families during and after crisis. Janice later opened a independent practice focused on parenting and family stressors.

In independent practice she has helped parents navigate school systems and pursue 504 or IEP accommodations to meet a child’s learning and emotional needs. She also provides workplace-focused counseling as an employee assistance program (EAP) counselor, addressing burnout, career stress, and barriers to professional growth.

Her methods draw from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered therapy. In sessions she mixes skill building, values clarification, and real-world problem solving. Clients leave with tools they can use between meetings.

Janice is based in California and works in English. She invites people who want straightforward support for parenting, life purpose, ADHD-related challenges, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and women's concerns to consider whether her practical style fits their needs.

How Janice’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when someone feels stuck by offering simple experiments and mindful noticing of what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when you want step-by-step tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From that conversation she tailors a plan and adjusts methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - fewer commutes, quicker check-ins, and the ability to schedule sessions around work or school. Those practical benefits can help people keep momentum between appointments and apply new skills in daily routines.
