About Janice
Janice Naranjo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps that can improve day-to-day coping and build confidence. Janice speaks plainly and treats clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Her sessions often begin by focusing on the immediate problem and what a client wants to change. She adapts the conversation and plan to fit each person rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
Common topics include anger, motivation, low self-esteem, and handling life transitions. Janice uses methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also applies solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals and trauma-focused methods when past trauma affects daily life.
She supports people dealing with grief, parenting stress, relationship strain, career decisions, and challenges related to ADHD. Sessions aim to be practical - identifying what is getting in the way and testing realistic alternatives in everyday life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Janice emphasizes collaborative pacing.
She will listen, help you set goals, and adjust tools over time based on what works best for you.
Approaches and Online Care That Focus on Practical Change
Janice commonly draws from client-centered therapy, which means sessions start by listening to what matters most to the person and shaping the pace around their needs. This approach helps people feel heard and take the lead on what they want to change.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a method that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and tests what works.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with clients to choose methods based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. Plans are adjusted over time rather than fixed from the start.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing notes and reminders. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
