Janisse Rothford, LCPC, LPCC

Janisse Rothford is a licensed counselor serving clients in Nevada and California who brings a compassionate, practical approach to stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, anger, and self-esteem challenges. She holds LCPC and LPCC credentials and is authorized to practice in both states. With 10 years of professional experience, she also served seven years as a Military Family Life Counselor, which informs her understanding of family systems, transitions, and the unique pressures military life can create.

Janisse emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s individual needs. Her work addresses communication and family problems, isolation and loneliness, life purpose and midlife concerns, and topics related to self-love and women’s issues. She combines evidence-based techniques with a client-centered stance to help people make meaningful changes from their current circumstances.

Janisse is currently available Monday through Wednesday and encourages those taking the first step toward therapy to continue the process. She invites prospective clients to get started and explore a treatment plan tailored to their goals and situation.

Approaches and Online Support for Everyday Challenges

Janisse draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support people in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s goals guide the work and the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. DBT provides practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for anger, intense emotions, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janisse works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Sessions by video or phone let clients engage face-to-face from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins that fit day-to-day life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals when it is most convenient.
