About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Janca is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, who brings nine years of clinical experience. She began wanting to be a counselor after her own early experiences in therapy and play therapy. That early feeling - that a listening space can change things - shapes how she meets people now.
She trained in psychology and counseling in Texas, with a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University and a master’s in Counseling and Development from Texas Woman's University.
Background and approach
Her work has included direct therapy roles such as applied behavior analysis (ABA) with young children, play therapy, activity-based work with adolescents, talk therapy for teens and adults, and leading groups. She also spent three years working in middle school settings as an academic counselor and administrator. Elizabeth favors a client-centered approach where the person’s concerns guide the session.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior ideas are part of her toolbox when learning emotion regulation and coping skills is helpful. Parents often come to her for help with stress, parenting questions, sleep problems, or behavior and mood concerns in young people.
She also supports people dealing with grief, changes at work, relationship challenges, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and non-monogamous relationship issues. Sessions are offered remotely in English and she accepts international clients.
Elizabeth emphasizes straightforward conversations, practical coping strategies, and steady problem-solving that fit a family's daily life.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to let each person or parent steer sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters most to you and the therapist follows your lead to encourage reflection and choices.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more helpful ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and managing stress in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas are used when learning emotion regulation and coping skills is a priority. DBT-based techniques teach practical tools for calming intense reactions and improving communication.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits your needs and preferences. Clients and parents are invited to give feedback and shape each step.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you talk face-to-face when a longer session is helpful. Phone calls work when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or when writing helps you organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules and to keep continuity during life transitions.
