About Janice
Janice Harbin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 30 years in mental health care. She began her career working with children and adolescents and has spent the last decade focusing on adults. Janice draws on long experience with addiction treatment and outpatient mental health services to guide people through hard seasons.
She approaches addiction as a symptom rather than the whole story. That perspective helps her look beyond behaviors to the stressors, trauma, or life changes creating the problem. She also integrates practical tools for anxiety, depression, grief, sleep, and relationship concerns.
Her work uses straightforward, collaborative methods. Clients can expect conversations that uncover patterns, build coping skills, and set small, realistic goals. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used alongside cognitive techniques and motivational approaches to support change.
Janice brings years of experience with addiction, drug court teams, and outpatient referrals to psychiatric care when needed. She combines that background with a personal faith that sometimes informs her approach at a client's request. Outside of work she enjoys biking, walking, and time with her children and grandchildren.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Janice uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her day-to-day work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, grief, and life changes. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses, a useful fit for depression, sleep problems, and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try strategies that seem most helpful. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which tools to use and adjust as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you want to combine skill-building exercises, mindfulness practice, and goal-checks in a format that fits your schedule, discuss those needs when you complete the matching questionnaire.
