More about Janis

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT, LPCC

Thanks for visiting my profile! I am a double-licensed therapist in California. I have a bachelors in psychology, masters in counseling, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) license, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) license, and a K-12 school counseling credential. While I very much enjoy my school-based counselor role, I look forward to starting a telehealth practice. I have 20+ years of professional work experience working with teens and their parents/guardians, families dealing with relationship issues, conflicts, coping with loss, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, self-harming, suicidal ideation, and general mental health needs. I’m interested in working with adults and teens who want someone to help them through day-to -day difficulties, relationship problems, even adult end-of-life questions, and more. I believe that you all have unique strengths, and the ability to move through any life challenge. Taking the first step toward seeking help takes courage. I would be honored to work with you along your journey. ~Janis

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
