About Janice

Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting and family strain, relationship struggles, addictions, grief, and other life challenges. She also supports those coping with trauma, anger, depression, career concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem issues.

Janice started her career working in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment. She spent a lot of time helping teenagers and families recover from addiction. That early work shaped how she listens for patterns in behavior and family routine.

After moving into private practice, Janice worked with parents on family stress and on navigating school systems for 504 and IEP supports. She assists caregivers who feel overwhelmed and helps clients focus on practical steps they can take at home and at school.

Janice has also served as an employee assistance program counselor. In that role she helped adult professionals manage burnout, solve workplace problems, and reconnect with a sense of purpose. Those experiences inform her work with career-related anxiety and life-purpose questions.

Her approach blends mindfulness practices, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavioral strategies. Janice aims for clear, achievable goals and straightforward tools people can use between sessions.

With 15 years of experience, she focuses on steady progress and realistic change. People who want practical steps, calmer days, and clearer choices often find her style direct and supportive.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Janice draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. Mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and help with stress, anxiety, and everyday overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking steps toward a meaningful life while accepting difficult feelings. That approach is useful for depression, anxiety, and life-purpose questions.

She also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help with parenting concerns, relationship strain, and issues that come from caregiver stress. Janice approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to find which approach fits best based on goals and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about pacing, homework, and how to use mindfulness and ACT exercises between sessions so therapy fits into everyday life.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
