About Janice

Janice Burnham is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns along with relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her tone is warm and practical, aimed at parents and partners looking for clear guidance rather than jargon.

Sessions tend to focus on everyday problems and steps people can try between meetings. Janice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely and feel heard. Together these approaches aim to pair practical skills with supportive listening. Her work routinely addresses communication problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and parenting challenges.

She also supports people facing midlife transitions, aging and geriatric concerns, and postpartum struggles. Janice pays attention to both emotional needs and real-life solutions like setting boundaries and problem-solving. In sessions, she typically helps clients identify small, manageable steps to reduce stress and improve relationships.

She encourages clarity about values and goals and helps people build routines that support change. Her style emphasizes collaboration and steady progress. Based in Texas, Janice brings a calm, experienced presence to therapy.

Her approach aims to help people reclaim a sense of direction and build more satisfying daily lives.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits

Janice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that increase stress or conflict. That method pairs straightforward tools with homework-style steps, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship conflicts.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a compassionate space where clients feel heard. That approach focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and building trust before moving to practical changes, useful for grief, identity shifts, and parenting worries.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Janice will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then adapt techniques to fit their situation. The plan can shift over time as needs change, and she aims to involve clients in choosing the path forward.

Online sessions make regular work on these approaches easier to maintain. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and feedback, phone sessions offer a simpler option when schedules are tight, and live chat or text-based messaging can help with brief check-ins or between-session support. These formats give flexibility for busy families and people balancing caregiving or work commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
