About Janice
Janice Harbin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of experience in mental health. She brings a practical, steady approach to common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and anger. Janice speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what each person is facing before suggesting next steps.
She began her career working with children and adolescents and has spent the past ten years focused mainly on adults. Much of her work has been in outpatient mental health settings that coordinate with psychiatric care when needed.
Background and approach
Janice has substantial experience supporting people with substance use concerns and spent time on a drug court treatment team. In sessions she looks beyond symptoms to what is driving them. That means asking questions about life context, relationships, and daily routines.
She uses structured, practical methods alongside supportive conversation to help people build new habits and cope with hard moments. Her style draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, client-centered methods, and motivational interviewing. These tools are used to manage anxiety, anger, grief, and changes in life and work.
Outside of clinical work Janice enjoys biking, walking, and family time with her children and grandchildren. She brings steady experience and an easy manner to sessions, aiming to help people move forward in small, manageable steps.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and short weekly tasks, which can help with anxiety, anger, and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can include skill practice, problem solving, and regular check-ins to adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing check-ins between sessions.
