Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She also supports parents facing family and parenting stress, and people coping with grief, anger, or career burnout. Her work includes attention to ADHD, self-esteem, and relationship challenges.

Janice began her career in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. She spent years helping teenagers and adults recover from addiction and rebuild daily routines. That early work shaped a practical, goal-focused approach to problem solving.

In private practice she has guided parents through parenting strain and family conflict. She has experience supporting parents who need help working with schools on 504 and IEP accommodations. Janice also worked as an employee assistance program counselor helping adult professionals manage workplace stress and career transition.

Her style blends clear skills training with listening and validation. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills. Attachment-based and client-centered methods shape how she explores relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy adds a focus on values and meaningful action.

With 15 years of experience in California, Janice aims to make sessions practical and usable between meetings. She helps people set small goals they can try right away. That steady, down-to-earth approach guides work with complex life challenges.

How Janice’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that match those values. It helps when worry, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and building coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness. It can help people understand repeated conflicts or caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process may mix elements from different approaches so sessions match what the client wants to achieve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to balance appointments around school, caregiving, or work commitments. Ask about current session options to find an arrangement that suits everyday life and the goals you want to address.
