About Janice
Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in California who supports people facing parenting stress and family challenges. She helps parents manage anxiety, stress, grief, and mood concerns while navigating everyday demands. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at parents who need clear tools and steady support.
Janice began her career working in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. There she supported people with addiction and worked with teenagers and parents trying to recover from substance misuse.
Background and approach
That early work shaped her focus on practical coping skills and rebuilding routines at home. She later opened independent practice where she helped parents address family stress and work with schools to seek 504 or IEP accommodations for their children.
She also supported adults through career-related stress as an employee assistance program counselor, helping people manage burnout and find renewed meaning at work. Her approach blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-informed work. Janice emphasizes simple, usable strategies that fit a busy family life.
Sessions typically include skill practice, problem solving, and short-term planning. With 15 years of experience Janice focuses on practical outcomes rather than jargon. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make ongoing support manageable for parents and working adults.

Approaches for online parenting and life challenges
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck when parenting or career demands feel overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect parenting and family life. It helps people understand reactions to conflict and build more predictable responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior through structured exercises and practice. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing day-to-day stress.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and timing. She blends techniques as needed and adjusts plans based on what actually helps in family routines and at work.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and joint problem solving. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick questions, brief coaching, and follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy family or work week.
