About Janice
Her work focuses on locating where people get stuck and opening paths for change. She takes a person-centered stance, asking questions and listening closely so people can name their problems and make choices. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, bodily experience, and spiritual or ritual concerns when those matters matter to the person.
Janice uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, attachment-based work to improve relationships, and acceptance-based strategies to tolerate difficult feelings. She also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior work, narrative methods, mindfulness, and emotionally focused techniques.
With 17 years in practice and background in rehabilitation counseling and trauma work, she brings experience with disability management and complex presentations. That experience includes neurocognitive and neurodevelopmental concerns, traumatic brain injury, and vision-related disability as part of broader care planning.
Janice leads a private practice called Inner Door Consulting, LLC. She encourages people to explore what matters to them and to take small, practical steps toward greater stability and meaning.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify personal values and take small committed steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than getting stuck on symptom control.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and on practicing different behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching concrete skills to shift thinking and routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. This work can help people understand recurring conflicts and improve emotional connection in important relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, adjusting based on goals, response to techniques, and personal preferences. That collaboration helps ensure sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.
For online therapy logistics, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. They also allow work on skills like mindfulness, behavioral experiments, and tracking habits in everyday settings, which can help translate gains into daily life.
