About Janice

LMFT in California with 5 years of clinical experience. Janice Lorraine Browning helps people address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She works with adults in English and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.

Janice uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way of functioning. She also integrates Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build momentum.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions typically involve discussing a current problem, noticing patterns, and testing small changes between meetings. When trauma is part of the story, she brings in elements of Trauma-Focused Therapy to address distress linked to past events.

Janice emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients clarify what they want to change and picks practical tactics that fit their life. Progress is measured in small, concrete steps rather than vague promises.

She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.

How Janice applies key approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the client's concerns. In practice the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies what matters most, and helps people put words to their feelings. This approach is useful for people who want an open, conversational space to sort through current stresses and relationship issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing alternative thoughts, and trying small behavioral changes between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to practical skill-building.

Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. The therapist uses questions and reflection to strengthen motivation and set concrete short-term goals. This pairs well with solution-focused work that emphasizes quick, achievable steps.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Janice will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to use based on goals and preferences. She adapts techniques as needs shift over time.

The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain regular meetings while working on stress, mood, and relationship concerns.
