About Janice
Janice Loboda is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career questions, depression, coaching needs, ADHD, and young adult issues.
Janice started her career in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. She worked directly with people facing addiction and with families affected by it. That early work led her to help parents manage family stress and navigate school systems to pursue 504 and IEP accommodations for their children.
Later she expanded into private practice and workplace-based counseling. She has experience as an employee assistance program counselor, helping adults deal with career stress, burnout, and obstacles that block professional progress. She also supports people looking for clearer professional or personal purpose.
In sessions she uses straightforward, practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered conversation, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She talks through emotions, patterns, and choices and practices concrete strategies that can be used between sessions.
People can expect a conversational style that focuses on goals and day-to-day problems. She helps clients notice unhelpful behaviors, try different responses, and build coping skills. The work often includes setting small steps, tracking progress, and reviewing what helps in real life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. It helps when worry, avoidance, or doubt stop people from trying new steps toward work, relationships, or life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical problems that affect study or work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It can help when trust, closeness, or conflict repeatedly cause distress in relationships or family roles.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying different strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on day-to-day results.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer in-person visit would be hard. They also let people use video or phone options depending on bandwidth, or choose a shorter session for a focused check-in. Ask about current session formats when you start the matching questionnaire so the setup matches practical needs and daily life.
