About Janice
Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, or parenting and family challenges. She also supports people working through grief, career strain, ADHD concerns, and relationship difficulties.
Janice began her work in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse programs. She spent a lot of time helping teens and their parents navigate recovery and the stresses that come with it.
Background and approach
That early work shaped how she listens for what matters most to each person. In independent practice she has focused on parents and caregivers, helping them sort through family stress and school advocacy, including supporting efforts to pursue 504 and IEP accommodations. She has also worked as an employee assistance counselor, helping people facing workplace burnout and career transitions.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions look at what is getting in the way now and build skills to change daily patterns. Clients can expect a mix of talking, planning, and simple exercises to try between sessions.
Janice draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to reduce unhelpful thinking and clarify values. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy to strengthen coping skills and emotional regulation.

Approaches and online options to manage strong emotions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. It is useful when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns that feed anxiety, anger, or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from ACT, CBT, and attachment work, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep face-to-face interaction while avoiding travel time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief coaching or ongoing support into a busy day. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while working on stress, anger, parenting concerns, or career issues from home or during a work break.
