About Janice
Janice Withrow is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She brings 17 years of experience supporting people through career stress, trauma, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her style is calm and direct, focused on helping someone get unstuck and move forward.
Janice listens first and asks clear questions to find where a person feels blocked. She uses a client-centered way of working that encourages exploration of thoughts, feelings, and physical reactions.
Background and approach
That practical focus helps clients notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-informed work to address early relationship wounds. Dialectical behavior tools and emotion-focused methods are also part of her toolbox when they fit a person's needs.
Her background includes long-term work with people facing trauma, domestic violence, caregiving stress, and disability-related challenges. Janice has experience with mood disorders, PTSD-related concerns, ADHD, and complex grief among other issues. She aims to meet people where they are and build a plan that feels doable.
Sessions can cover short-term goals like sleep or anger management, and longer-term healing around family of origin or intimacy issues. Janice encourages clients to name small experiments between sessions so change can begin right away.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes when someone wants to live in line with their priorities rather than getting stuck on worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and improve sleep, mood, or daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, which can help with intimacy issues, trust, and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She often mixes approaches so sessions are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for in-depth conversations and reading body language. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text can help with brief reflections, on-the-spot coaching, or keeping momentum between longer sessions.
