Janice Loboda , LPCC

Janice Loboda is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with a strong background in addiction, family systems, and workplace wellbeing. She began her career supporting people in inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment, where she focused on recovery for individuals, teens, and whole families affected by addiction. That early experience shaped her commitment to working with families and young people navigating the ripple effects of substance use.

Transitioning into private practice, she developed a specialty helping parents manage parenting and family stressors and advocating for children in school settings to obtain 504 plans and IEP accommodations that support educational and emotional needs. Her work includes partnering with parents to navigate school systems and to build strategies that help children thrive academically and socially.

In addition to family work, Janice has served as an employee assistance program counselor for adult professionals, addressing career stress, professional barriers, burnout, and the search for renewed purpose. Across settings she draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to support stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, addiction, trauma, grief, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem challenges. Janice holds the LPCC credential, which indicates training and licensure as a professional clinical counselor, and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Janice Loboda

Janice often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take meaningful action toward personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with day-to-day functioning. She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns that originate in early bonds and to support healthier connections in family and intimate relationships. This approach can be helpful for parenting challenges, attachment issues, and relationship repair. Janice also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Janice collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Janice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage with therapy in the format that feels most comfortable.
