She approaches work from a strength-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries resources that can help overcome obstacles.

Her aim is to empower individuals to build self-love, practice forgiveness when needed, and develop coping skills for lasting change.

Janis focuses on practical, compassionate support to help clients move toward their goals. As an LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor, she blends empathy with evidence-informed strategies to help clients address addiction, control issues, women’s concerns, and relationship and career challenges while fostering resilience and personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. It is useful for people who want support to explore values, improve self-worth, and find direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building - it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps strengthen personal motivation for change and is often effective for addictions and ambivalence about behavior change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janis works collaboratively with clients to determine which method or combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what matters most to each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, or connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide structured, compassionate care while accommodating client preferences and routines.
