About Janice
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with 10 years of professional experience. Janice Snyder helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem challenges. She also focuses on communication problems and social anxiety and phobia.
Janice works from the view that each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. She listens for what a person already does well and then helps build on those skills. Sessions are described plainly: talking through problems, practicing communication strategies, and setting small goals to test change between meetings.
Her background includes a Ph.D. from USC and a decade of clinical work in California. That experience informs practical steps she suggests in sessions, such as behavior changes, rehearsal of new skills, and gradual exposure to feared situations. She frames these as techniques to try rather than fixed prescriptions.
People can expect direct but respectful conversation, with attention to what fits their life. Janice emphasizes doable strategies for day-to-day problems like sleep disruption, avoidance, or declining confidence. She also helps unpack grief and loss in concrete ways, such as identifying routines that provide structure.
When relationship difficulties come up, she focuses on communication patterns and clearer requests between people. For social anxiety and phobia, she uses gradual steps to reduce avoidance and build real-world practice. Janice asks people to test small changes between sessions and reviews results together.

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions
Janice relies on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical steps. One common approach is structured skill practice: identifying specific behaviors to change, rehearsing those skills in session, and assigning short between-session tasks to build new habits. This helps with issues like low confidence, avoidance, and everyday anxiety.Another approach involves gradual exposure to feared situations. The therapist breaks down feared activities into small, manageable steps and supports steady practice to reduce avoidance. This is useful for social anxiety and phobia, and for rebuilding routines after loss or depression.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist and client collaboratively decide which methods to try, based on the client’s goals and comfort level. Sessions include reviewing what worked, adjusting plans, and setting small next steps together.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and exposure tasks so they fit into everyday schedules and real-life practice.
