Janice Loboda, LPCC - Therapist in California

About Janice

Janice Loboda is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She helps parents handle everyday stress, parenting challenges, and relationships in the home. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at making small changes that fit into busy family life.

Janice began her work in addiction treatment, supporting people in inpatient and outpatient programs. She spent a lot of time helping teenagers and their families as they recovered from substance use.

Background and approach

That early work shaped how she supports families facing difficult patterns and painful history. After that, she opened a independent practice where she helped parents manage family stress and navigate educational supports like 504 and IEP plans. She also spent time as an employee assistance program counselor, helping working adults deal with career stress, burnout, and finding renewed purpose.

Her approach pulls from practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on attachment ideas to improve connection and on acceptance-based strategies to manage strong emotions.

Janice has 15 years of experience and works in California. She holds the LPCC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each family's needs.

Therapeutic approaches for families delivered online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control choices. It helps parents stay focused on valued family actions even during stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to shift them. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and parenting reactions that keep problems going.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Janice will collaborate with each client to find which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what a family or parent finds most useful and adjusts as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility for busy families. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and appointments. The range of formats also supports different comfort levels with online talking or messaging, so parents can pick what feels most helpful.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
