About Janice
Janice Loboda is a California LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addiction recovery issues, trauma and grief. Her practice includes support for blended family issues and related attachment questions.
Janice began her career in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. She worked directly with people in early recovery and with teenagers and families affected by addiction. Over time she moved into private practice and started seeing more parents and adults with workplace stress and burnout.
In private practice she helps parents address family stress and school-related needs. That has included talking through how to work with schools on 504 and IEP accommodations. She also meets with adult professionals through employee assistance programs to address career barriers and burnout.
Her approach combines practical skills with talk therapy. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions and problematic patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to clarify values and relationship dynamics.
Sessions are straightforward and focused on day-to-day problems. Janice helps people set small goals, practice coping strategies, and plan next steps. For someone navigating a new stepfamily, co-parenting tensions, or parenting a child with different needs, she aims to provide clear options and concrete steps.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward them. It can help with low motivation, overwhelm, or when life feels out of balance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns in close relationships, which can be helpful for blended family tensions and loyalty conflicts. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying a technique, reviewing how it felt, and adjusting the plan together. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins during a break, reduce travel time, and fit therapy into a busy day. They also let people practice new skills in real-life settings between sessions. If you want to discuss which approaches and session arrangements suit your routine, mention that in the matching questionnaire when you schedule.Areas of expertise
